you're talking about. HD is not evenly distributed between breeds. Some
breeds have markedly more HD within the breed than other. Inbreeding
does not cause HD.

Right - inbreeding does not CAUSE HD - but it will sure make the presence of
any inherited weakness know exponentially if the wrong two are line-bred.


Sure. But that's both a plus and a minus. Inbreeding helps "expose" weak
points in the pedigree. Inbreeding also sets type, color, size,
temperament, etc. Inbreeding is part and parcel of dog breeding. And
geneticists make no distinction between inbreeding and line breeding...
