BigAg03,
You are right again, although I was trying to address the question of the difference between inbreeding and Linebreeding. My definition was directed at the most practical application of the two, trying to keep it simple. Parent/offspring matings are the most extreme form of inbreeding or closebreeding and is usually the one that is avoided albeit not always. It is a somewhat complicated subject and is definitely not for everyone. As I think Boogie mentioned it comes with a lot of preconceived prejudice. The book I recommended before really does a good job at explaining in a unbiased way the pros and cons.
