Speaking of Inbreeding...what are the "norms" in the Sphynx lines for % of inbreeding.
At which point should one worry and / or shy away from a cat?
I understand all the reasons to not inbreed, but I also realize that it was/is done in order to refine a breed. But more wondering what is inside the range of normal...I have seen some at 2% and a lot at 6% then some at 10%...just wondering what the norm is out there in pets and or breeding stock.
Fr0m my understanding it would equate to my dad's (or mom's) cousin would be my cousin once removed which I think is the same as 2nd cousins...but maybe I have that wrong! That's just how I have always thought of it!
Yep that's how it works...
your parents cousin =your 2nd cousin or cousin once removed...
if that person has children they are your 2nd cousin once removed...
if they then have children (and you're still alive) they are your 2nd cousin twice removed...and so on!

I am still learning but I believe 10% is to high.
