If you dogs have hereditary problems then it is more likely that a greater number of the offspring from this type of breeding will have it. It isn't a type of breeding I would recommend unless you are very familiar with the line of dogs you are using. It does not create problems but brings out any problems that is found in a line.
In-breeding is the breeding of closely related individuals such as, father to daughter, mother to Son, sister to brother.
Line breeding is breeding on a common ancestor such as geat grandsire to great grand daughter. If you find a common sire or dam in your Yorkie's pedigree (such as in the 1st, 4 th and 6th generation) your Yorkie is line breed.
