发帖数: 331 | 1 我收养了puppy, 从3个月多养起的，还是公认high energy的jack russell terrier (
mix), 其实也还好，你家有院子就更好了，小时候可以圈块地让他跑。
从小狗养起来比较亲，每次给她过秤越长越大，学东西，越来越听话就让人有做父母的
骄傲感觉。虽然要花时间，有时会累，但是一点都不觉得，时间要不然也浪费了。
我家的狗现在几乎不叫，是我们教的结果。除了breed, 每个狗都有自己的个性，差别
很大。我家的狗性格很好，很calm, 对小孩和小狗特温柔，也不怕大狗和人，这都从小
看得出来。
如果你不确定能养得了狗，建议先做foster parent, 两个星期以后就知道了。我一开
始foster的时候也不确定，担心养不好我家破妮子这种狗，找vet去问，他说狗吧，性
格最重要，breed其次，我看你能养好他，我才放心，正式收养了她。结果我担心的根
本不是问题了。
poodle和lab都是很好的狗，大部分的mixed breed也很好，shelter里有很多黑lab,
puppy和adult都有，建议去看看。 |

发帖数: 26631 | 2 这个理想很好，不过实施起来似乎有困难。。。
首先，对"专业”定定义，如何判断什么人有资格，什么人没资格来breed
其次，不赚钱，那么那些breeder的动力从何而来？
再次，由少数人来决定如何breed, 怎么样才能避免他们犯错？
就说德牧好了。德牧的繁殖在德国是控制的很严格的，由协会把持。但是就是一些专家
的“改良”，出现了show line。大部分人都认为这种德牧实际工作能力下降。所以现
在很多最求工作德牧的人都去繁殖东德或者捷克德牧，因为那些血系没有被“改良”过
。如果breed只能有少数人来决定，那一旦有了错误，对某个品种的狗可能就是灾难性
的后果。

发帖数: 3285 | 15 这个产业肯定有存在的必要，而且给人类社会带来很多好处
好狗，需要去哺育繁衍，可以为很多人提供家庭欢乐
就算没有人为育种，他们也会繁衍，只是没有按照breed的定义来，应该不会绝种，是
绝“pure breed”，哈。
不过现在普遍的狗种，哪一个不是人工育种的？我还挺好奇。
如果人类也这样被大面积控制下育种，也会有很多classes，什么toy啦，working

1. 没有dam的介绍，只有stud。你去breeder那里看过了吧，狗妈什么样，有title么，
health tests都如何？
2. stud不是他们kennel的狗，也就是说，这家是从别家买公狗，或者借公狗。为什么
，因为他们自己的公狗没有title，到处参加dog show打title是非常费钱的
3. available的puppy太多，说明他们breeding很多，那每只puppy得到的训练和关注会
不会不够？doberman小时候的social非常重要
4. 他们收你订金前有没有对你进行过调查，看着他们可以卖puppy给任何人
5. 他们貌似不管你breed不breed你买的puppy
6. 航拍图看着就像commercial kennel，狗也许大部分时间在kennel里，说不好听的有

，生出一窝来把尾巴一剪，一天pcr就出来了
如果是为了breeding用，那就看你需要的老鼠数量了。
假设十只老鼠都是cre+，其中三只是cre+/+, 为了省后续工作，那么等三个星期测cre
也许值得
假如自己就四五只cre，我觉得还是管他纯合杂合，所有cre都放进去breeding，先拿到
后代进行前期实验，之后再看哪只cre纯合来用于批量生产。
是不是可以这样，pcr少P几圈，找个定量的仪器差不多定量下，排除几只肯定是杂合的
就是了，剩下不能确定的去breeding等三个星期。

发帖数: 6830 | 32 一般female老鼠6个星期就可以怀孕了，早了她们也不性成熟，放在一起也没用。
vaginal opening在老鼠里面是一个月左右，有的早几天有的晚几天。
但是把年轻的母老鼠跟公老鼠放在一起应该是没问题的，因为有的paper做fertility的
，为了确定老鼠性成熟的时间，就把年轻的老鼠跟确定fertile的公老鼠放到一起，然
后看小老鼠的birth date来推算母老鼠的初次怀孕日期。
我自己曾经遇到过5个星期的母老鼠怀孕的，因为我偷懒晚分笼了几天。
一个6个星期的公老鼠和一个4个星期的母老鼠放在一起，基本不会是母老鼠死的原因。
另外breeding用一只母老鼠效率太低，不知道你们是breeding来干嘛，我的
maintenance都至少是2公四母（当然是分两笼）。做实验的老鼠都是10来只母的同时

发帖数: 1145 | 33 我cross了两个转基因的老鼠，发现大约1／3的老鼠从postnatal 3天到2周，出现不同
程度的体型变小，以及预期中其他的一些表型。老鼠就算只有sibling的1／2大小，但
还是生活自理，三周就可以wean了。
问题1,
现在我想quantify老鼠body size的变化，测体重是比较有效的手段吗？
我担心的是，不是所有老鼠都变小，体重平均后，也许会弱化差异。
ps，下周第一批老鼠要拉去做echo，到时麻倒了，肯定会拍比较照片。
问题2,
如果检测体重的话，需要连续测多久？可以只测到6周成年的时候吗？
concern是，现在的老鼠只是第一次cross后的double het，本来是没预期有表型的。按
计划要继续cross将一个基因完全knockout，预期得到更严重的表型。
所以说，所有的female老鼠都要用来breeding，等到怀孕后，体重肯定就不准了。就算
是公老鼠，用来breed后，都会变肥（难怪男人一结婚就发福），可能体重也不准了。
是不是测体重只能到breeding前？ |
