In the Rhodesian Ridgeback EU Magazine, Issue 14/2023, there is an article titled «The Winds Are Changing», which addresses the significance of genetic diversity in dog breeding. The article discusses the importance of preserving genetic diversity for the health and sustainability of the Rhodesian Ridgeback, but it would also apply to dogs in general. The article is written by the three founders of the group Rhodesian Ridgeback Health and Long-term Sustainable Breeding, Jessica Persson (SE), Veronica Thorén (SE) and Mona Hansen (MH), and we hope that it offers food for thought as well as insights and inspiration for those interested in long-term sustainable breeding practices.
