The first two posters were right on. Usually in dogs it is ok to breed back 3 generations for desirable triats. Inbreeding causing a gentic problem is largely a myth, it brings out the recesive traits which are often undesirable, but the gene was there to start.

With all the new morphs in the BP world, I plan to line breed every one of my regular females to be sure there are no "hidden" or recesive traits. It'll take time but I'm in no rush.
