es that are loosely fur-red and are lacking in proper wnstitutfonal vigour. Evidence would indlcatc very definitely that this is due to successive generations of outcross- ing. The majority of fox bireeders are carrying out successive genera-

tually consider they are inbreeding Until fox breeders get s true n:- peot of what they are doing it is hopeless for them to evecr obtain any improvement.

Inbreeding and oufcrosslug can be carried out at different levels. Obviously, there are levels at wrltich inbreeding will merge into outcross- lng. If the foxes of the farrillles A, B. O, D, E, are mated various combinations can be obtained" , BB. CC. DD. EE, AB, AC. AD, AE. BC, BD BE. CD. CE. DE and from those foxes we may have the combinations:-

The following would be favour- able forms of inbreeding after out-

ABFG with ACDE which is paramount to three geri- erations of oiitcrossing. In the first generation of outer-casing there would be the full benefit of the hybrid vigour with the production of the foxes AB, FG, AC, DE, with an increase in size. density and volume of fur and silver area. But in the second generation of out-- crossing leading to the production {of the foxes ABFG and ACDE ;thei'e wtill be loss of hybrid vigour. leading to a decrease in size, volume of fur and other desirable quali- tlw. In the third generation as a result of a mating between the foxes ABFG and ACDE there will .be a sfiil more pronounced drop in the qualities of the foxes in every respect, because there are three successive generations of out.- cross/ing. Even if the foxes from tle family A were the same iden- tical foxes the mating as a whole would approach that of a complete It outcross. i As sated previously. inbreeding land outcroxsirig may i." carried out fat differ-Pitt levels. The most prc- lvaillng faut with fox breeders is ,that they are not inbreeding at a jhirzh enough lvel so that when they lintrodiice new blood intn their lFﬁllClWS for an outcross they are inoi fwttliig the ful‘. benefit of the ilrvbrid vigour that comes front Ioiitci-ossiiig. "The hvbrid vigour ‘can only be obtained in the first n" toss. and subsequent outcross- ing without inbreeding invariably leads to a loss in the hybrid vig- our" is a fuiidamciifnl fact that we have establshcri in our experi- "nental work with silver foxes. which also holds true with other animals and plants. The loss in the hybrid vigour and in the general qualify or the animals is much greater in succeeding generations of outcross- in; or very remote inbreeding than in succeeding generations of rela- tlveIy close inbreeding.
