I wanted to know who affects the puppies more - the sire or the dam?
Suppose if I breed a champion sire to a non-champion dam, how the pups will be different from a the opposite combination- champion line dam to a non-champion sire.

Please do reply.
Thanks in advance.

Im far from an expert on genetics but I believe the male gene is more dominant just my opinion for whats it's worth.

well generally speaking, the female decides litter size and the male determines the gender of the pups. Other than that they really have a geneticly 50/50 chance of who they will end up more like. But if you know the lineage behind the dogs that you are considering then you can make a pretty good educated guess. For me, my studs seem to dominate their litters, both in house and stud service out of house. Both my boys lineage was bred with a purpose and that as well I think attributes to there stronger genes. Especially my stud Sayer who, in all his many breedings, has only met two females who have been able to match him.. and the second was daughter of the first which I think spells out exactly why she was able to split/dominate the litter with him, she inherited her mothers strong genes. And actually with my two other females who showed dominante genes, one was the daughter of the other. When the mother was bred to Sayer, he was the only stud to dominate her. But my other stud bred this females daughter out of a litter she had dominated with a differnt stud and she (the daughter) in turn dominated her own litter. But that was mainly only in coloring, structure was more of my stud Tritan and then again I suppose that is different as my studs coloring is by nature recessive and the females dominant so perhaps that is a whole nother topic lol. I feel like im talking in circles. But basicly, look at the pedigrees and lineage and see what and how consistent each side is throwing and that should point you in the general direction of who will be more dominant in the individual pairs you are considering.
