> Where does Nietzsche talk about this in his writings?

He does not use the term itself, but often speaks of inherited traits and
race. Hell, who didn't in that time period? And later! I recall eugenic
tainted social beliefs from the forties. But Nietzsche wasn't one to speak
of breeding an existing strain to perfection. He believed there was no
perfect race, that the Uberman (Superman, Overman) did not (yet) exist. In
order to break the myth of an existing perfect race, he proposed the
opposite, miscegenation. He would not have been a Nazi, for example. He had
no respect whatsoever for the Nazi proclivities. German militant fanatics
misconstrued the spirit of his writing, his energy of free and radical ideas
in order to promote rhetoric that was not Nietzsche's.

Beware that all the works alleged to be Nietzsche's are not his, especially
the late works after he became ill; they were forgeries, allegedly
perpetrated by his twisted sister, Elisabeth.

Really? I never heard that before (comes from not reading all the way
through the prefaces I guess!) Do you have a reference about that for me?

Thanks, Scott

Its bullshit propaganda by pro-Nietzsche mysogynistic nut-jobs. The
actual truth is that Nietzsche caught a massive dose of the clap and
his brain turned to jelly in his later life. The later works are full
of crap because his mind was a syphilitic sewer.
Dear sweet Elizabeth had nothing to do with the writings.

The proto nazis reading his work drove him insane.

They dug up his body and found no traces of any disease.

Why did the English inbreed terriers so much that they have a
fierceness not found in the wild?

Because the English are ferocious. heh.

Probably to badger bait.

Badgers are one of the world most ferocious animals; for good reason.

Which kind of makes them a beautiful animal (badgers that is) along
side Polar Bears.

Both (badger/polar bear) very laid back (play) until they need to feed
or protect..
