Cavalier Talk

Inbreeding is the breeding of father to daughter, mother to son, or full brother to full sister. Inbreeding is a quick way to reveal the genetic strengths and weaknesses of a line.

Linebreeding is the breeding of two animals who share common ancestors. Linebreeding yields a smaller gene pool where certain traits are more likely to breed true. If health of the line is known linebreeding can be the best way to achieve and maintain desirable qualities.

Outcrossing is the breeding of two unrelated animals. This method increases the size of the gene pool and can introduce both positive and negative traits.
