    It's called line breeding and if done right you can strengthen your bloodlines and the traits you are trying to bring out but you do have to out cross or bring in fresh unrelated blood every few generations or you will start having deformations animals that are more prone to all kinds of problems. I breed pit bulls and rottweilers for years and I've seen both sides bad and good I believe all animals are the same it's completely different than brother and sister humans having kids which is in breeding with animals it's line breeding. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

    Outcrossing refers to breeding genetically unrelated parents. Inbreeding refers to breeding closely related parents (1st cousins and closer). Line breeding is a milder inbreeding used to either maintain a desired trait or to save a declining population from extinction .
