no, what you have described here is inbreeding. My hubby does Line breeding and what it means (at least to us) is that the dogs come from our line,, Indian Hills, It may be far away but is from our line and can be traced back to our first Field Champion, Indian Hills Majer from about 25 years or so ago. father/daughter, brother/sister and that close, is NEVER bred in our kennel. That is most definitely inbreeding and all kinds of bad things happen when you do that.
