INBREEDING

Origins form the mating of relatives, and is the probability that an individual has got in his genetic inheritance two copies of same allele, which come, through his parentes, from one or more common ancestor. We typically think of inbreeding in a negative way. We associate it with genetically defective individuals and inbreeding depression that is a decrease in the perfomance of inbreds, most noticeably in traits like fertility and survivability. But inbreeding can be very helpulf as well, we can use it to create the breeds within species or lines within breeds that, when crossed, produce hybrid vigor. (R.M.Bourdon, 2000)

Since the breed is already formed we believe that carrying out this practice is not an healty way to breed so we always recommend "open" mating with eventually far common ancestors.
