Offspring´s

I just wonder if there are any recommended maximum number of offspring’s ???

When looking at the planned litters, I noticed that the same dogs shows up on almost every pedigree, whit in the first 4 generation !!! For example Omar z Krotkovského dvora CS whit his 95 offspring’s…

I must say I am no expert on genetic, but to me it looks like some breeders are creating a very narrow genepool, fore future generation of breeders to use.

Personally I think 20-25 offspring’s sounds like a good and healthy number of offspring’s, and maximum 30-35.

And I ask my self if breeders that take over 50 offspring’s really are interested of breeding, or if it is just about the money ???

Sad regards / Mikael
