Default breeding

The term "linebreeding" was invented to justify "acceptable" inbreeding. I like linebreeding myself...
The closest inbreeding is.....
Father/daughter or mother/son..followed closely by full siblings, followed by half sibs and grandparents to grandchild..last are first cousins, uncle/niece aunt/nephew...but we tend to use the term linebreeding to describe other then father/daughter, mother/son, full and half sibs..BUT the genetist does not agree..to them all these breeding are considered inbreeding...

I like the saying..."linebreeding is inbreeding that worked and inbreeding is linebreeding that did not work.."...
