Linebreeding is a form of inbreeding where the sire and dam of a particular animal share a common ancestor that appears more than once in their pedigree. An example of linebreeding is mating two dogs that are distant cousins but share a great-grandparent in their pedigree.

Can you breed a bull to his grandmother cow?

Yes as long as the grandmother cow still has breeding capabilities and as long as she is still alive. But it is not recommended in herds where linebreeding is not going to bode well for the producer. Linebreeding should only be done in PUREBRED herds, not just loosely in any herd at any time, as in most cases you will end up with calves that have genetic abnormalities, unthriftiness, or can even be stunted at birth. Linebreeding and Inbreeding is only for those herds who need to be genetically cleansed, to be pure, and to find and cull those cows and bulls that may have some form of genetic abnormality that will surface under the closed-herd breeding conditions.


Is it possible to breed a bull to his mother and his offspring?

Yes, but this, which is called Inbreeding, often causes far more problems with genetic defects and disorders, especially when animals are not tested for genetic defects, or have unknown genetic background (or are considered inferior in comparison to other superior animals). Inbreeding and Linebreeding should only be done if you know what genetics your herd has, if you have a LOT of experience with breeding cattle, and if you wish to purify a certain progeny line. Ninety-percent of the time it is highly unrecommended that most breeders, especially those that have to ask about it and are still novices to breeding cattle, to use inbreeding or linebreeding in their herds.


Is a calf of a cow a contingent asset?

Yes. No matter if that cow (and the sire) is a purebred or not, it is hard to predict the future economic benefit of that calf, unless we really and truly know the exact breeding, health and genetic of the dam and sire that will produce the expected calf, which is almost impossible, even in a purebred operation where linebreeding and inbreeding is being practiced to purify a breed strain.


Is it OK to mate a heifer with her father or other closely related bull?

No, not if you know the breeding history of her lineage and her parent's lineage and so on and so forth. Linebreeding can only be done in those herds that are purebred and that you know the pedigree history of, otherwise you will get calves that are either smaller and unthrifty, or get calves that have genetic abnormalities that could be fatal. Otherwise, if she is one animal that you have no idea what kind of background she has or what breed[s] she is, you better get her bred to an unrelated bull.

What are the main types of discus fish?

Discus (Symphysodon sp.) used to be classified into several species prior to the discovery of DNA. Now it has been established that there are actually two species. One is S.discus and the other is S.aequifasciata. The latter species has been sub-divided into three subspecies S.a.axelrodi (brown discus) the S.a.haraldi (Blue discus) and last but not least the S.a.aequifasciata (green discus). It is by inbreeding, linebreeding and selective crossbreeding of the last three subspecies that all the fancy varieties of discus have been developed.


What is linebreeding?

Line breeding is breeding a parent to it's own child, thus line. Sometimes you get something great, more than not you get genetic tendencies generation later or even in that first generation. I breed coveted DDR shepgerds and no matter how much I like the match, I will not line breed becaue I do not know what might take place in their stock in any generation to come. I think of the heartbreak of the family that would suffer as greatly as their dog but it is a choice that a few people have I believe succes with. Blessings
