In-Breeding by definition is: Father X Daughter, Mother X Son, Brother X Sister. No matter what the AG teacher says or your granpa or anyone else! That being said, if you choose to breed Father to Daughter that is not necessarily a bad thing, it doesnt mean the dog will have two heads. The biggest concern would be the same as what you are trying to achieve with all those quility traits and that is hopefully you will concentrate them in the next generation! Now for the concern "YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY CONCENTRATE THE NEGATIVE TRAITS AS WELL" Remember you will only be able to reproduce "TRAITS" example (cold nose) You will not reproduce "LEARNED BEHAVIOR" example (good handle). If you have a strong UNDESIRABLE TRAIT you will only deminish that trait with an OUTCROSS! Likewise if a dog lacks a certain TRAIT you desire (Hunt Drive) you will need to make an OUTCROSS in an attempt to secure some of those traits for your future generations.
This is NOT JMO! These are facts
Grant, who's the DR. now???......lol
