It is called line breeding because the dam and sire have the same lines within their pedigrees. Scooter and his half sister have the same mother...their mother would be the grandmother of any puppies produced...regardless of which sire or dam was used.
Not only would traits be more pronounced so are faults.
I don't believe AKC gets involved in breeding practices which is why they probably referred you to the YTCA.
