I guess you'd have to ask someone in the UK, the UK has other European countries to turn to, as we do here........there is a difference between line breeding and inbreeding.....and please don't make me explain it tonight....I took many courses and went to many seminars to understand it.....Dr' Carmen Battaglia has a wonderful course in breeding for a better dog....
I'm not saying that one doesn't have to occassionally go outside their line to avoid inbreeding, what I'm saying is that when you do, you have the probability of bringing in genetic faults/defects that you may not care to. Breeding is a risk, no matter how you look at it. But, one has to prepare themselves with knowledge before one embarks on that journey.
