"Too much inbreeding can't be good?"
That is true, many breeders like ours do Linebreeding it is a method that they will use to improve upon and try to eliminate structural and health problems from their dogs. It is the breeding together of dogs that have a well bred superior common ancestor who has attributes that the breeder is attempting to reproduce and improve upon in their own dogs. Things such as health, longevity of life, structure, movement and temperament of a dog that one is planning to linebreed on must be taken into account. Linebreeding is an attempt to concentrate the genetic contribution of an outstanding ancestor in the resulting offspring.
Finding the right dog and breeder is not an easy task, we did tons of research before we purchased our puppy, longevity, temperament and free from genetic problems were our priorities.
Granted you will pay more up front for most quality dogs, but if anyone has ever had to take their pet into the vet for serious health or physical problems, they know that the money spent up front to insure you have a healthy pet and family member was more than a good investment.
