| Abstract | Breeders of dogs, pigs, and cattle know that over-selecting for a single trait can ruin the animal. There are countless examples in the medical literature on dogs with physical and behavioral problems caused by over selection for a single trait. For example, breathing problems in shortnosed breeds, such as Bulldogs or Pugs, are caused by over selection for a shortened nose. Pointer dogs with extreme nervousness are another example. Pointing ability and nervousness are genetically linked traits. Breeders have known for decades that a fine line exists between a good pointer and a nervous wreck. |
