I was checking out some mare's on the Harness Racing New Zealand site and who they were served by this last season. I came across a mare from the Lis Mara family named Lisconnie who is by Western Ideal a beautifully bred mare i would say but what struck me as strange unless it's a miss print is that Lisconnie has been bred to American Ideal who's father is by Western Ideal. To me that is inbred, now as i own a few greyhounds for fun i often look up breeding's on the greyhound site to see what would suit my Brett Lee bitch and i have noticed there have been quiet a few greyhound owner's doing the same thing (inbreeding) i myself wouldn't try it but i was wondering what people thought of the idea of line breeding/inbreeding and there theories and what they most like to achieve when matching a mare to a stallion.
