Linebreeding is just a milder form of inbreeding, but technically they're the same thing and each has their place for a breeder who has a goal in mind, and a pretty good understanding of how to achieve it.

The purpose of linebreeding is simply consistancy.  This breeding method doesn't produce better or worse dogs, just dogs that are consistant with the line.  With linebreeding, your goal should never be to produce a dog that is any better than the dogs you start with.
