Thank you, you put into words what I’ve been observing from the side lines but couldn’t explain rationally because I lacked the experience to quantify.
When u breed dogs nature no longer selects You be come that which selects So strict goals must be trageted and traits must be selected to propagate into the future
When artificial selection does not model the concepts of natural selection via competition before breeding, the line is destroyed. That is the point of the video. Artificial selection should match the process outlined by natural selection. In natural selection, we have… 1. Over-production of offspring 2. Variation within a population 3. Competition for resources 4. Winners survive and reproduce In domestic artificial selection, we have… 1. Over-production of offspring 2. Variation within a population 3. Competition to serve (which they do by meeting our requirements by displaying the right traits) 4. Winners survive by being given resources and are bred
Hey just had a question, when I’m doing bite work with my dog he ends up trying to use his paws to grab my arm/sleeve. When he has a hold on my arm I move his front paws away and pull my arm up so he’s kinda dangling on it but I can’t keep my arm up for long periods of time, is there any tricks or tips you could give me that would help knock that off? Thanks
