I, agree 100%, an educated linebreeding is no more at risk for problems then an outcross...but this is not a linebreeding IMO..but we all differ.
If half siblings is considered linebreeding...what is inbreeding..there is only one combo closer..full sibs..I will ask a Can breeder I know..she has a degree in genetics.

Father/Daughter, Mother/son is called
back crossing"

brother/sister is the most intense inbreeding you can do.
Half siblings is called limited inbreeding

Linebreeding is some relationship between sire and dam...grandsire or granddam...tracing the pedigree back to a common relative.

Outcrossing is unrelated dogs.

If this breeder has followed every pup sold until at least 5 yrs and found no serious health issues, I would buy the pup with a one yr genetic guarantee...that should be given no matter the type breeding.
