Kelly is a mixed breed. His father-Nick- may be half grimm , his father 's linage is unknown. Once again, mixed offspring tend to be healthier, with less generic problems. Isolated human groups tend to look more and more alike and have higher rates of shared generic defects. As we all get older we all get health problems, if you are related to everyone in the town or county, you will have a lot of the same problems as everyone you know and who would probably be your mate.(01-31-2018, 04:19 PM)eric Wrote:(01-30-2018, 07:23 PM)irukandji Wrote:I would guess they would say purity is needed to prevent deterioration of the species. It is not an either or question. If a dog is a mixed mutt, it is regarded as less valuable than a pure breed. Lots of real life people who do not belong to a real life purity group believe this and can get violent when they see "mixing". In real life, if a group of any variety in a species is too pure, they become inbreed and are less healthy. A lot of dog breeds have hip, eye and other problems that mixed breeds do not have.(01-28-2018, 01:12 PM)eric Wrote: The purity group in Portland may be gone, but there is no indication that there are no wesserine groups in Bend or Tacoma or where ever. If the group is gone, that doesn't mean that individuals who believe in purity don't exist and aren't dangerous.
Do you think that purity of the species is their sole intention? Or are they rightfully concerned about the deterioration of the species?
So while Diana is a pure breed, Kelly is not. As he ages he could experience health problems.
