Makes very interesting reading, but it's going to take a lot of re-reading to understand it all, I think. | ||

Thanks Guy, must remember to recheck sopied and pasted links!
I have this as a PDF if that is more useful to anyone, I found it easier to print out and read

I read the first section and have to say my eyes glaze over the minute somebody refers to a bitch as a "Girl". As for the comments about selling pups at Christmas? I would have thought a holiday time with nothing to do but look after a pup would be an ideal time to buy/sell a puppy. I can think of many times of the year buisier than Christmas.
Hopefully it will get better. |

Somebody please explain. Surely you would be breeding mature animals that displayed the desired charactistics. |

Hi Des,
I am no expert but I think neoteny refers to immature characteristics in adults, e.g. floppy ears and also refers to the characteristics common between domestic dogs and juvenile wolfs, characteristics that mature wolves lose when adult. Kind of like the cuteness factor... |
