To the best of My knowledge there are 5 different carmel lines. Plus possible 2 new ones this year.
.
Upscale line Doug Beard and Janie Malsin
Bell line Mark and Kim Bell
Nerd Line Kevin (Satan)... Self proclaimed...Sorry Just dont know how to spell his last name.
VPI line Dave and Tracy Barker
SK line Dan and Colette Southerland.
Possibly there are more.. Please feel free to add if I missed one...

So far the best 2 crosses I have seen from one line to another were done by Stan Chiras from Upscale to NERD and MKR..Joe and Wes.from VPI To SK I saw one of their first ones as an adult last year and It was as nice as the upscale line...
I also feel that Kinking in Carmels Is probably more related to inbreeding rather than genetic flaws although it may be both.
I personally do not plan on diversifying our carmel production as we are working with outcrossed hets and double hets for Carmel Glow from the Upscale line And until I get proven wrong about the outcrossing thing I will stay with this line...
