Planning a Litter

When planning a litter, the tools below will help me most in figuring out which dogs NOT to breed together. <G> Pedigree analysis can help you "stack the deck" with dogs you love and tell you when dogs you don't love have too much influence on a likely pairing. But these tools, including COI & COR, will tell you only a likely outcome.

You have to know the dogs. You have to put your hands on as many of them as possible.

And you have to work them in harness. Not just in the yard, taking pretty pictures. You have to ask a dog for more than he is willing to give and see what he does. You have to see if he comes unglued on a long, hard downhill run with a team in front of him and a sled or cart behind him. You have to see if he lies down when he shouldn't. If he refuses to get up. You have to see if he is a kennel yard trouble maker, or a harnessed-up trouble maker. Will he put his head down and work, will he watch the world go by without trying to instigate something, will he wait his turn, will he greet strangers with his eyes bright and tail up, will he ignore another dog who is being a pest, will he get up off the ground willingly even tho he is tired and it's already been a long day, will he put his head down and pull, will he get tangled in the lines and not know how to get out, will he hare off after the least suggestion of a shadow, will he stay on the trail because you've asked him to, will he be an easy keeper, will he rest when he has a chance, will he stay injury free for several seasons before you decide to breed him (or not), will he accept strange bitches in his yard, will he accept their rebuff without taking offence, is he a ready and eager breeder who stands calmly after, will he help raise the puppies afterwards?

I ask a lot of my boys, I'm even harder on my girls. They have to do all of the above, plus will she be an easy whelper, will she be a gentle nursemaid with plenty of milk, will she greet strangers around her puppies if I ask her to, will she raise them with appropriate corrections so they learn bite inhibition, will she BE a calm and happy dog and will she produce the same. Finally, will she raise her own puppies, or someone else's, in a manner that produces happy, calm, willing workers like herself?

If I have analyzed the pedigree, answered these questions, tested parents for hips, eyes, and thyroid, THEN I can make decisions about whom to breed together.

In this case,

Brady & Hannah AND THEIR IMMEDIATE RELATIVES share many of the same physical traits I would like reproduce (phenotype). They are an outcross to each other (genotype). They have honest working relatives (pedigree). They both have a steady, calm, affectionate way about them (temperament). They have Good and Excellent hips, with many relatives who have the same, CERF clear, and Thyroid normal (health). And they both have run on my team and worked in weightpull harness for me willingly, smartly, and wisely (working ability).

Temperament, first, last and always. Brady is a goof and Hannah is a marshmallow. Brady hales from the Czech Republic and combines the best of the Czech and American pedigrees. Hannah is Black Ice -- old working lines from North America. We are tickled to combine this outcrossed pedigree. This litter has a 10-gen COI 2.59%.

INT CH Ksarah's Hope Inditarod "Brady"
Brady is just getting started in the elite pawprints of his forefathers. He takes to everything with style and willingness. OFA Good, CERF normal, Thyroid normal, and 25"/80# skinny working weight @ 2y, and he is still growing. He's weightpull training while we wait to mature and head back to the show ring and so long as he gets a hug and a kiss, he'll pull anything anytime! Brady is the sire of Winter.

INT CH Black Ice's Heartbreak Hannah "Hannah Banana"
Is there a more dignified name for a Malamute than Hannah Banana? She was raised on an apple farm as a pup and loves fruit of any kind, any time. She's not really fond of showing, she just does it because we asked her to. Her fav thing is her human kids and the couch... which is near the fridge, which is where apples are kept! She is OFA Excellent, Thyroid normal, CERF clear, a working harness dog who will pull if I have a round shiny apple to lure her with. She's 23"/75# skinny working weight. Hannah Banana is the dam of Music.

COI - Coefficient of Inbreeding

Is this an outcross or inbreeding, if inbreeding, how much? Anything under 7% is an outcross. A brother-sister breeding is 25%, assuming the parents are a complete 0% outcross, which rarely happens.

Brady X Hannah, 10-generation COI 2.59%

Therefore they are a low outcross, which will help ensure genetic diversity. If they were inbred, they would be more likely to inherit the same copy of deliterious genes (like cancers). And the harder it is to maintain a genetic diversity in the population as a whole. Outcrossed dogs also exhibit "hybrid vigor" which increases the chances of a healthy immune system.

COR - Coefficient of Relationship

As calculated by the AMAL database using Breedmate to find the dogs who have the most influence on a litter. These dogs are generally figured for 10 generations by percentage, but this is no way a guarentee that if you put a dog 20 times in a pedigree, the pups will "look" like him or "act" like him, because each breeding is a reshuffel of the genes, with half of them lost every time. HOWEVER, statistically, these dogs have a greater chance of influencing a litter the higher their COR is...

Gen 1
Ksarah's Hope Inditarod "Brady" 52.7%
Black Ice's Heartbreak Hannah " Hannah" 52.6%

Brady will have slightly more of an influence over this breeding according to the weight of his ancestors, but it is slight, oh, so very slight. The next generations will tell the tail...

Gen2
Great Spirit Inditarod "Cora" 31.3%
HG Brandywine's New Moon "Angus" 30.1%
Black Ice's Winter Frost "Anya" 29.8%
Buffalo Bill Inditarod "Brady1" 27.6%

In Gen2, Cora & Angus's pedigrees have slightly more influence than Anya & Brady1's, however the numbers are starting to diverge.

Gen 3
Brandywine's Moonsong 20.9%
Brad Pitt Del Lago Degli Orsi 20.2%
Marlayne's Forty Niner 20%
First Lady Shamanrock 20%
Pale Moon's Kodi's Shadow 19.7%
...
Moon Song's Captain Moon Ray 17.4%
Black Ice's Autumn Splendor 17%
Conny ze Západní křižovatky 14.4%

The bottom three, Moon Song, Black Ice, and the pure Czech dogs are dropping off the list.

Gen 4
Marlayne's Iceland Poppy 18.3%
HG's Consider It Won 17.4%
Storm Kloud's Oonly The Best 16.3%
Oopik's Winter's Fury 15.7%
Pandizucchero Del Lago Degli Orsi 15.2%

Kipmik's Going My Way 14.9%
Nanukes Lockport Louie 14%
J-Len's Keema Karynina 13.3%
Nanuke's Driving Ms Daisey 13%
Blessed Love For Cyrus of Montego CS 13%
Glaciers Not Akloud in the Sky 12.6%
Black Ice's Sudden Impact 12.3%
White Blaze of Wolfpack 12%
Misty Paks Worth A Lick 9.8%
Ayrin Z Cervene Hospody 8.5%
Agil Cesky Klondike 8%

The heavy hitters in this pedigree are Marlayne-Oopik (Black Ice) and Storm Kloud (Glaciers, Blessed Love). Nanuke and the Czech dogs dropping out of influence. Marlayne is also mainly Storm Kloud & Tote'um. And Oopik here is more Tote'um, Glacier's and Storm Kloud.

Gen 5
CH Pale Moon's Kodi's Shadow 19.74%
CH Storm Kloud's Can't Catch Me ROM 15,82%
CH Storm Kloud's One More Time ROM 15.45%
Marlayne's Wintergem 14.67%
A/C CH Storm Kloud's Aall Systems Go WTD WWPDX "Rocket" 14.4%
A/C CH Tote-Um's Black Warrior CD WLD WWPD 14.34%
CH Storm Kloud's Witchkraft 14.3%
(Gen 5 cont. below)

These are the heavy hitters in this pedigree -- Pale Moon, Storm Kloud, Marlayne & Tote'um. This is a great thing, because these three major influences are mainly separate groups of dogs, which is a plus for genetic diversity, and they are proven producers, proven working dogs, and proven show dogs.

Pale Moon's Kodi's Shadow is primarily Kanangnark & Uyak

Storm Kloud is, well, Storm Kloud plus Glacier

Marlayne here is Oopik, Tote'um, and a little more early Storm Kloud

NOTE: I had my hands on this dog, "Rocket," held him during a tie, and this picture does NOT do him justice in any way. He is a well built machine.

Further NOTE: the 1999 Wayeh litter --- linebred Snow Song (Storm Kloud) X linebred Wayeh (Uyak) --- is the inspiration for all that followed (Singer, Tom T., Snowman).

Gen 5 (cont.)
