The Ins and Outs of Pedigree Analysis, Genetic Diversity, and Genetic Disease Control

When considering a breeding, what do you value most, phenotype/pedigree or genotype/pedigree? Actually if you read a pedigree correctly you are, or should be, looking not just at the names and families but also what these dogs have produced in terms of their physical traits, phenotype, but also their genotype – their genetic chemical traits. Part of the genetics of dog is its inheritable health conditions. When you look at a pedigree, does health come to mind? It should and can.
