Genetics raising vs improving

Genetics raising is not the same as improving eventhough many people think they are sinonyms.
They are not. At least not here.

Genetic points change will happen once in a puppy's life between the age of 0 to 1,2 years. It
will happen nomatter if the puppy is in shelter or adopted, breeded by responsible breeder or
puppy miller. And it will happen either by improving it or making it worse. Yes, points can go
down making puppy less showable, breedable material.They acctually raise one day of a week, lol
and rigth now it's Wednesday. If you have a puppy that has been born any day between Wednesdays
then he will gain his genetics raised. (Before it used to be Thursday and the day may acctually
change, lol). If he was born on Wednesday he will get the change the same day.

Genetics improving is making the puppy have the best traits ever like excellent movement, good teeth
and nice behaviour. It is done by choosing the breeding stock that have traits that are wished to be
passed on to the puppy. Two dogs with poor movements have very little chance to have excellent mover
puppies. So genetics improvement first starts with picking good parents for a future pup. Carefully
reading predicted results can save many trouble. It says in percentages how many of the litter will
have certain trats, for eg: coat color: 50% red 25%liver 25% brown in a litter of 8 means 4 will have
red coats, two will have liver and two brown. Best results happen when traits are in their 100%s or
75%s. Usually only one puppy gets best genetics and one will do better in shows in a litter.

Puppies are born with a certain look and those will stick to him for the rest of his life. He gets
points for his looks as well and his conformation is judged giving him qualities and faults. Now,
those can be fixed as he grows up but only once. It is very common that people focus on no faults
as the best dogs. I disagree on that. It happnes so that no faults only means a puppy has even
distribution of points and those dogs don't make better breeding stock nor always better show dogs.
It happened so that I used to own Thai Ridgeback that had 40 show champion titles and 2 faults,
beating many 'no faults' dogs.

In order to improve genetics and not to have it drop down you need to take care of a puppy: take it
to the vet for all shots and find him a boarding kennel. Giving him vitamins and food can contribute
to fixing faults. Some people say - leave with a mother, others -don't. I don't keep dogs with mother
because then I can't give them vitamins and such and those can fix some faults. Faults are starting
point in genetics raising. If you look carefully faults happen where puppy has little or no points.
Giving him certain items can help gain points in that area. For movement/elbows&hips any kind of toy
will help, for coat health there are coat vitamins, for teeth there are toothbrushes and also at
groomers one can pick to care only for teeth, for behaviour there are whistles and sprays.
