Okay let's say that a genetic defect is associated with a sex linked gene. As a product of an inbreeding he would than be homozygous recessive for that gene. Because it is a sex linked gene it is carried by the male but shown by the female. He is bred and his daughter now is affected by this genetic defect. Inbreeding may make him prepotent for some excellent qualities but it would also make him prepotent for any bad ones that was in his line as well.
