Line breeding

[iceman001979 1,316]

We always hear about line breeding trying to keep as close to a line as you can.

Surely some where down the line new blood or a different line as to be put into your on line before it gets to close.

Even a full breed used to thin down the line to start again just want peoples opinions cheers. ICEMAN

Line breeding is used to attempt to get purity of genes, and to some degree take the guess work out of breeding..putting new blood in as you suggest is exactly what you have stated "staring again" all that hard work gone in one generation..in a line you would be doing more damage bringing in some new blood than continually line breeding...not sure of this term too close, too close to what?

Like if you use a line out off foxy and then go breed the pup (down the line) with another dog out off foxy can it become to close where there can be problems down the line if you know what l mean. Surely you can only use a line for so long before new blood from some other dog or bitch as to come in if you now what l mean.
