Brief Question & Answer on Bloodlines

Question:

I did a quick search online for the “Shyanza Breed” and I couldn’t find anything. In the notes under Lady Di it says “The Shyanza group was purchased from a vet and we are carrying on the Shyanza tradition of dogs”. I was hoping that you could explain what that means exactly. Did you purchase all these puppies from the vet and now you are reselling them? I guess I am just a little bit confused.

Answer:

The Shyanza Breed is Bloodline. It is the basic structure of the dog. When you breed two dogs with short legs and then breed the young with a male or female with a lighter weight you have young that are short-legged and weigh less which you can call your bloodline. Breeding out defects and the size and coloration make the Shyanza Breed which took a vet several years to get right. Now their offspring (mom of Sassy the 3rd) continue the breeding standards which make defect free, good colored, healthy, intelligent, puppies. We own Sassy the 3rd (mom) and with breeding her and Sir Andre’s genetics we carrying out the tradition and are getting the results desired. This generally takes around 10 generations to get.

Basically if your mom had green hair and you did also and found a wife with green hair you might get a kid with green hair and continue down the line.

The puppies are still genuine Cavaliers; they just have specifics traits bred into them and the quality of care.
