At one time it was quite common to inbreed...and it was needed to set type. Now, we do not need to do this...there are so many fine bloodlines..and a breeder can breed type to type instead of inbreeding to get it.
What I recall in the "olden" days..was the sire was usually a good champion and his daughter was sometimes bred to him...and some studs are what they call "prepotent" (I think that is correct spelling) meaning..they tend to reproduce their best genetic traits over and over... |
