Health of the WSS is for me the most important part if my breedingprogramm. I don’t cut corners and I am committed to my mission statement. And I am always looking for ways to contribute to the longevity of this beautiful breed.
One way to improve the health in the breed is to outcross with anothet breed and breed back in. You bring in more diversity and decrease the degree of inbreeding. I was thinking about doing that with Jane in two or three years. But then a breeder of a Tamaskan female was looking for a WSS male to breed with and I thought ‘let’s see if Mojo is suitable’ for their programm. And he is. The International Tamaskan Register has approved Mojo as a foundation dog.
And end of October/begin November Mojo will have a date with Callie (the Tamaskan female). If one of the pups is a solid white I have the option to keep that pup and breed with him or her. I feel really committed to do more for the breed then ‘only’ breeding. A lot of breeders disagree with me, but luckily some of them not, especially breeders from The Netherlands and Sweden are also working on longevity of the breed.
For the future of Mojo’s and Jessies pups this has no consequences at all. The pups can and will be registered as WSS with the FCI, bc both Mojo and Jessie are registered WSS with the FCI as well.
