In-breeding or "line-breeding"; sib-to-sib or sib-to-parent can be useful,even essential in establishing a given trait that the breeder might desire in further generations. The problem is of course, the breeder may also be unknowingly linking some other unforseen, undesirable genetic characteristic. Like the "Hapsburg Lip" was fine with inbreeding royals but the hemophilia was a serious bummer. I'm content to let you breeder guys roll the dice...
