ICH LIEBE DEUTSCHLAND UND DEUTSCHLAND LIEBT MICH

6 DESIGNER DOG BABIES 2007, the creation of the new designer dogs.

 

The new invented breed created is named and presented as "Berliner". Engineered only on the basis of the two best looking races giving a fantastic looking dog. But more importantly with more healthy DNA. Weimaraner or the Ridgeback. Both breeds were bred for a particular purpose (hunting/guarding). Today as the purpose of domesticated animals as dogs are limited to a restricted range of purposes mostly purely aesthetical as with most domesticated animals today.

 

WEIMARANER hunting dog mix originating from the city of Weimar as far back as 1600 century.

 

RIDGEBACK stribe feature originating from the dog of the "hottentots". original mixed african/asian dog called this due to its back stribe characteristics brought back to Europe with a farmer in 1922. fairly new breed.

 

 

ON DESIGNER DOGS & DEGENERATION

In society the breeding of different “races” have been institutionally systemized in the last 100-200 years. Over just 4000 years man has breed from the wild wolf very dislike types of dogs. More than 500 dog-breeds are today categorized and mapped accordingly to custom standards. Different breeds are are based on outer features and sometimes mental characteristics.

 

The breeding are often undertaken by breeders that work through specialized club-like unions. A long list of rules describes features of aesthetics. These are controlled by a few clergy-men on the top of the breeder organizations. To gain breeder status standards must be held. Numerous deceases surfaces as inbreeding or a lack of evolutionary selection set through the genetical DNA pool. The adaptive genes that are fostering the mutation of a species and allow adaptation in effect provides degeneration when breeding is along one strict standard. Genetical engineering is then in fact primarily used to provide surface aesthetical standards that promotes further inbreeding. Ironically the extra premium one pays for a "race" dog goes into further inbreeding i.e. more deceases. 

This project in question sets out to propose new ways of evolution and DNA invention.

 

"a number of breeds now exhibit hereditary faults due to the over-use of a particularly "typey" stud which was later found to carry a gene detrimental to health. By the time the problems came to light they had already become widespread as the stud had been extensively used to "improve" the breed. In the past some breeds were crossed with dogs from different breeds in order to improve type, but nowadays the emphasis is on preserving breed purity and avoiding mongrels... ..Highly inbred dogs also display abnormalities on a regular basis as "bad" genes become more widespread. These abnormalities can be simple undesirable characteristics such as misaligned jaws (poor bite) or more serious deformities. If its previous progeny are already breeding it's tempting to think "Pandora's Box is already open and the damage done so I'll turn a blind eye". Ignoring the fault and continuing to breed from the dog will cause the faulty genes to becomeeven more widespread in the breed, causing problems later on if its descendants are bred together."
( BREEDERS HANDBOOK, 1996)

 

Mixed breeds usually start with unplanned matings between purebred dogs.  However, there are now planned breedings between Poodles and Labradors, Yorkies and Bichons, Poodles and Cockers and even Bulldogs and Boxers.  Most of these breedings are to produce positive traits such as non-shedding and hypo-allergenic qualities.  Other mixes found on the web:
