Jargon brought up a very good point. The average hobbyist cannot trace genetic lines more than 1 generation if they are lucky. So yes im sure inbreeding does take place. Now I have been getting my breeders from a varied aray of sources so my chances of inbreeding are low, but it isnt impossible. It all comes down to numbers and breeders with a high hatch rate tend to flood the area's they are in with thier baby's. This causes me to say call Hiedi on the left coast when its time to get new lines added. Im no geneticist but I would personally never breed relation to relation. I would rather breed healthy normals before that. Just chiming in.
