What kind of inbreeding is permitted in the SV?

At the moment, the tightest permitted inbreedings are 2-3 or 3-2, i. e. the paired animals have common ancestors in the 2. and 3. generation.

However, in the future, the inbreedings shall be limited to maximally 3-3 inbreedings, as with „tighter“ inbreedings, the bad characteristics often predominate. Additionally, the bloodlines should not be restricted further.

The committee has looked into the matter of inbreeding again during their meeting on April 17th 2015. Since 1/1/2015, according to the breeding rules, an inbreeding that is closer than 3-3 is not permitted anymore.

After scientific advice and the latest findings about this topic, the breeding committee has come to the conclusion that the inbreedings 2-4, respectively 4-2 and 2-5 or 5-2 are not closer than 3-3 and are therefore permitted. The inbreedings 3-2, 2-2, 1-1- 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 and vice versa are still not permitted.

The determinations for the breeding rules have been modified regarding this topic.
