All of which is quite true, inbreeding is where other less dominant traits would begin rising to the "phenotypic" surface!(no pun intended).LOL....although some of which can be VERY un-wanted as well(lack of vigor, deformities, etc...)
Osborne(or anyone for that matter) creating what "looks" to be a textbook thayeri now and then from a greeri breeding(especially a leonis type), isn't anything outlandish at ALL. I think you were just using that as a good example of what HE saw, and is a prime example of what you stated earlier about other traits rising to the surface to be exhibited after repeated inbreeding,......and again, I concur!
