The conversation also covers the significance of coefficient of inbreeding (COI) in breeding practices and how to calculate it effectively. The hosts emphasize the need for proper research and preparation in all aspects of dog care and breeding. takeaways Contracts should focus on what you will do, not what others will do. Grooming is about consistency and understanding your dog's coat type. Make decisions on puppy selection based on their movement and temperament. COI varies by breed; some can handle higher rates than others. Cleanliness and condition are crucial for a dog's appearance. Grooming should enhance the dog's natural shape, not alter it. Practice grooming techniques at home before shows. Understanding the cause of issues like tear stains is essential. Research your breed's specific needs and characteristics. Use COI as a tool to guide breeding decisions, not as a strict rule. titles Navigating Dog Breeding Contracts Essential Grooming Tips for Dog Owners Sound Bites "Clean is free."
