A mild form of inbreeding usually focusing on a particular dog or family of dogs. COI's in the teens or less.

Inbreeding COI's in the 30's or better.

I don't know the terminology that the experts use. But I have formed my opinion from reading and trying to understand what some experts say.

In a nutshell;  linebreeding for striking/baying hog dogs.

1. Breed dogs that are closely related

2. Breeding these dogs for hunting and baying style that meet your definition/standard as to what a hog dog should be and never compromise.

3. breed these dogs for physical appearance/performance.

All pure bred dogs were created by inbreeding and linebreeding.

If it works it is linebreeding.

If it don't it is inbreeding.
