[QUOTE="robert, post: 900069, member: 9171"] Pedigree tells you the road you have traveled, if you know the individuals in a pedigree you can have a good idea what to expect, whether the product is the careful stacking and concentrating of genetics or the continual outcross of type and kind with a random recombination resulting in a phenotypically desirable individual but a genetic time bomb of destructive forces below the surface. In the pedigree or purebred world understanding the combination of individuals and the methods of the breeder (and for that matter the integrity of the breeder) will determine which direction your herd will go, towards continual corrective matings generation after generation or towards stability of type and kind. Unfortunately the former is the 'hotter' 'sexier' 'progressive' route (though the irony of that 'progression' is lost on many) and the latter easily portrayed as being the anti- whatever approach.
