Linebreeding?
Oh wise PPOT... My girlfriend and I just bought two AKC registered Golden Retriever pups and when going thru all the paperwork, we found out that they are a product of "linebreeding". My GF is very concerned as she is seeing this really as "inbreeding".
A quick google search says that linebreeding is a thing, but what - if any - are the real consequences? The puppies are beautiful, have had all sorts of genetic testing, etc. but she is very concerned. The breeder (who has been breeding Goldens for 47 years) says that this is a common practice and "nothing to be concerned about".
Thoughts?
