• When the image of the future dog is compiled, donor breeds suitable for creating a new individual are determined.
• The first pair of parents is selected. It should have pronounced desired qualities.
• Then, puppies that are most suitable for the intended image are selected from the litter. In the future, inbreeding is used, that is, the crossing of related individuals among themselves in order to consolidate the necessary qualities. Such family mating will occur with the offspring of several generations.
• Further, donors of other suitable breeds are added to dogs obtained by kinship.Puppies matching the intended character are selected. Crossbreeding will thus occur until the final result is obtained.
