[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1507020, member: 24565"] "Inbreeding most certainly CAN cause genetic mutations, some favorable and some not." Totally false. Mutations have nothing to do with levels of inbreeding or outcrossing. Inbreeding concentrates some genes and if a problem or undesirable trait is concentrated it can be exhibited. Mutations are often a problem of damaged DNA information or noise being transferred at conception or later chemical expose to create alterations. If a line can be created by tight linebreeding and it is useful it is a great day in the neighborhood. But odds are against you at about 5 or 6 to 1 or worse. [/QUOTE]
