I'm just wondering what real breeders thoughts on outcrossing are.
I'm not talking about making some little dog, adding "poo" to the end of it's name, and selling it for 3k. I mean outcrossing done by reputable breeders to add growth to the gene pools for pure bred dogs. I bought a QH at auction once, and she came with appendix papers. My stepdad had told me, that the QH Assocation allows you to breed with TB and get appendix papers, and then if you go through a few hoops they'll give you full papers and any foals will be full QHs. I wasn't really paying attention, bc she was just a farm pony, so I'm sorry if I'm not relaying that correctly(this was quite a few years ago). But I can see how you would want to add to the gene pool, especially for breeds that have very few registered dogs. I remember when Tollers where accepted into the AKC, I was talking to a woman who showed them, and she said she was kinda sad, bc there were very few registered and she was afraid of what that would do the breed down the road.
Do you think it should be allowed? Why? Why not?
How do you think they papered?
Do you think the outcrossed pups should have to be titled before they can have "purebred" pups or be considered "purebred" themselves?
How many generations till they should be considered purebed?
If you were to outcross, how would you handle it?

There are some breeds with a very narrow gene pool- I know in another thread Dekka mentioned shelties. In shelties 25% of the modern sheltie pedigree is the SAME DOG.
