Dear Jaime,
thank you for your patience, I've been busy these days.
1) As far as I can see, this is totally possible. However, do you expect that the genetic contribution of an individual to its offspring would be different depending on the role (male or female) that it plays in each case? The animal model will simply consider that the additive genetic value of an individual will be correlated with those of its ancestors (regardless of their role as male or female). Try it and let me know whether you find any problem or difficulty for interpretation.
2) There is no specific model for dominance built in in breedR. However, it is not difficult to do. You need to build your dominance matrix manually and feed it into a generic model [1]. We have done it before in this paper [2], for example. I cand send you a copy of the paper if you don't have access. A pre-print is available here [3].
Hope it helps.
