Well Jessica, if you can find me a 4 generation pedigree w/o issues, I'll eat it. (And yes, I know plenty about pedigrees, that's why I'm confident I won't have to eat any pedigrees.)

Granted things crop up, but they crop up in other pedigrees well. I certainly wouldn't be doing an inbreeding on questionable genetics, but then I don't do linebreedings or outcrosses on questionable genetics. That's why I asked about how long people should be in a breed and how many generations should they have before doing an inbreeding.
