We shall not succeed unless we first reorder our priorities -- the idols of breed purity and extreme breed type must be dethroned.
What does everyone think that means?

This type of outcross has been done to save some breeds such as the basenji and the husky.

One needs a much broader vision, a patience to temporarily lose track of traits you like and want to preserve, and a willingness to defy the breed organization if they are rewarding genetic disease through diminished genetic diversity. Fortunately, the gsd gene pool is wider than many breed gene pools, but this does not mean this is not a problem for us.

I was surprised to find there were problems with diversity in the racing sled dogs. For 2 years, I lived a short distance from a very large sled dog kennel. The owner of the kennel used a very wide diversity of breeds to cross with huskies to get dogs suitable for both racing and touring.

My opinion is clear on the thread about breeding father to daughter (is it a good thing?) and the genetic problems that will surface. I'm not going to say it again about having the head up the butt...
