Inbreeding - two very closely related dogs for example, two dogs that have the same sire (father). Inbreeding can be used when you want to accentuate-very quickly- a particular trait associated with that family.

Inbreeding should not be attempted by the novice. It requires the skill of an experienced breeder who knows the detailed histories of dogs involved, and who will only proceed if they are confident that the resulting offspring will be sound and healthy, as well as being typical specimens of the breed.
