[QUOTE="6M Ranch, post: 255371, member: 2324"] My point doesn't just apply to miniaturization of certain animals. This would apply to any trait in an animal that you are trying to emphasize. Size, marbling, etc. Most genetic defects are recessive. When an animal is repeatably bred to the same bloodlines, you increase your chances for other defects to materialize dramatically. A two foot horse is a genetic defect. If allowed to happen naturally, I don't think a two foot horse would last long in the wild. [/QUOTE]
