[QUOTE="usernametaken, post: 481688, member: 6820"] I bred a sire/daughter litter once in dogs by accident. I was quite worried about it and spoke to my vet at length. According to my Vet most likely the pups would be ok. Here's where it gets a little weird. According to the vet it is the NEXT generation I needed to worry about. Something about after concentrating all those genes, if I then bred to an outcross it was very likely to bring out the defective genes. Sold the litter on a spay/neuter only basis. They have been very nice dogs. ARMY DOC I would be interested in your opinion about the vet's advice. I know some do not agree with what he told me, but I have a lot of faith in him, so followed his advice. Interesting part was the sire was already extremely linebred. That old breeder he came from crossed 1/2 brothers and sisters and parents and grandparents from the 1960's forward. What I think he did was literally clean the line out. This sire has never thrown a pup with a genetic defect. He is extremely predictable in the traits that he throws and he dominates in an outcross. There is certainly value in that, as long as he is a good one, which he is. One of the big decisions I think when you linebreed is are you willing to cull what doesn't come out so well ?
