It's throwing a dice in Las Vegas. If I see the pedigree, I can see 25 different males with no connections. So, yeah, it can be anything. If you see, let's say, like Luke Brett with Bieber on GV2 or the other way around. Hey, you know, hey, there's Cartus, there's Cartus. Okay. The probability that you will get something like this is, of course, much bigger.

Yes. But that is why also things that Luke teach me and then with the research that I did, there were very, very interesting articles written about inbreeding in the 50s by Mr. Verbank, who was a real Belgian shepherd guy who had really high standard in the and how he could write things about the Belgian Shepherds. And Mr. Verbank was a very important guy in the history of the Belgian Shepherds.

Yes, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. He was from Ghent originally. I don't know.

Yes. Because I know there is a lot of things said now lately about this inbreeding. And I say inbreeding, okay, inbreeding, that's a father on his daughter or a son with his mother or brother and sister, that's inbreeding. All the rest is said line breeding. If you take nieces or grandfathers, then you go on line breeding. But

In the inbreeding, really inbreeding, it has been done quite a lot in the Belgian Shepherd in all history. If we check on the start, because the history of the Belgian Shepherd, we have two important males that started the breed. That was Chop and the Wet. Those are the two most important dogs. And Chop and the Wet, if you see the pedigrees from that time, wow. I never breed like they did.

Huh? And after this start where it was a lot, a lot inbreeding, I must say in the whole history, we can find back dogs that were important, but that were issues of two, three generations of really strong inbreeding. And despite all the inbreeding that has been done with the Belgian Shepherds, we can say we have quite a healthy breed.

And it's not because it's like that, that you don't have, you have to take care, you have to know and understand what you do. Because the inbreeding, if people talk about this, they say it's bad, it's bad, it's bad, because it will accentuate the problems that the dogs have.

Yeah, but which stupid guy will do inbreeding with dogs with problems? That's what I, that's my question.

Because I can say with stone, I did some really inbreedings. I did three or four times. I made a stone on one of his daughters, but different daughters, I must say.

I got dogs. Wow. Hey, you could see, you put them up and if you do an inbreeding like that, then you can see also the value of your male.
