[QUOTE="bigag03, post: 892372, member: 9247"] I disagree with this definition completely. Inbreeding is the mating of two related individuals. Linebreeding is a controlled form of inbreeding used to increase the homozygosity of the genetics of a particular line (sometimes the genetics of 1 individual...aka Anxiety the 4th in Herefords). By increasing homozygosity, the desirable traits (and sometimes undesirable traits) can be passed to the next generation with more uniformity and predictability. Most of the typical linebreeding gurus will recommend to keep the relationships of two individuals below 50% for mating purposes, but even at low percentages of relationship, it is still inbreeding.
