I think many pet buyers rush to judgement though when they hear linebreeding or inbred, there are many sound reasons a seasoned breeder would do this.
My mother started when the big rage was a tea cup poodle!
she felt the tinier the better, so she bred mother to son and sister to brother. She got what she wanted some very sound tiny little poodles, but with almost every litter there was one that wasnt right emotional.
I recall an adorable little black we named her "tiki" she was a product of brother to sister, she was slow to develope as she got closer to one year old you could tell that she was mentally slow as well, soon after turn one we started to see her walk into walls, like she didnt even notice they were their and she wasnt blind. Poor thing degraded from there and was finally put down just before her 2nd birthday. She didnt grow more than the palm of your hand!
