[QUOTE="Pooog1, post: 246097, member: 3959"] I think that you will soon hear that everyone will have a different opinion. I have heard some people say that it's line breeding if you breed closely and it works and its inbreeding if it doesn’t work! Really you will see allot of mated pairs that were sired by the same sire (1/2 brother and sister) I wouldn't really recommend breeding father to daughter and vise versa but I have seen it done quite successfully. This kind of mating will increase your homozygous genes in the resulting offspring and will give you a more uniform animal. If this is done properly it can be quite good but again if your animal has a recessive trait that you wouldn’t want to come out, it more than likely will as you are breeding two animals that may carry this to a more certain extent. Like I said everyone will have an opinion on this and they will vary. I once knew a breeder that was trying to get a full mate to a bull of his by breeding his daughters back to him and on and on. I never did hear how this turned out but I know that he doesn’t raise that breed anymore. I always forgot to ask if it was successful. Good luck with what you’re doing. [/QUOTE]
