Is inbreeding good or bad, is inbreeding risky?
Please mind that first of all, the inbreeding numbers are just numbers nothing more. More important than a high or low value is to which ancestor you are inbreeding on. Inbreeding is often famed as risky. Please mind that the inbreeding risk theories do not account for greyhounds. Inbreeding is done on purpose with greyhounds and race horses for hundrets of years to improve the breed. Greyhounds are bred for performance. For best performance you need to be perfectly fit. As long as you are selecting animals under the condition of fitness, inbreeding is a perfectly save thing to do. Inbreeding gets risky if you select the parents not by their performance and health but under other conditions like for example you bred for a special coat color. Inbreeding in show dogs or cats is risky because it is often done using wrong selection criterias.
