Go to amazon.com and order Anne Seranne's book, The Joy of Breeding Your Own Show Dog. It explains inbreeding and when it is a good idea and when it is not.

Inbreeding is used to strengthen a trait in a particular pup you're trying to produce. Dams and sires that have the same recessive gene shouldn't be breed because you'd be producing pups with the recessive gene.

The book explains it really well and is a great investment if you're really wanting to know about breeding.
