Is this inbreeding?

[Chickenfever]

So, I bought a mini mancha doe and sometime later a mini mancha buck from the same breeder. I asked at the time if they were related (just wanted to make sure would be OK to breed them together), he said yes they are related, but it will be OK. I took his word for it since he's been doing this awhile. Well, after looking at their registration at home I see that they have the same dam and different sires (they were born a year apart from each other).
Just checking to see if anyone thinks this will be an issue. I don't want to have trouble selling the kids either.

It would be an acceptable line breeding, since they're not full siblings (same dam and sire).
I usually only breed that close if there's a good reason (dam to both had a great udder, etc.).

It's pretty common in Arabian horses, especially if the sire is exceptional.

So... is their sire exceptional? Is he a show winner, sires kids that are hardy, good udders, good teeth? Does your doe have any flaws? (Be Honest now) Any of her flaws could be from the sire and could be made worse with that breeding.

Conversely, if your doe has good conformation, is a good milker with good udders then the offspring should be good too.

Every other generation is a good rule of thumb for line-breeding and outcrosses.

Thanks for the info. I know I have a lot to learn about the breeding aspect of goats. I will find out soon how good she is, she is due to kid in about 7 weeks. They do come from good lines, their dam is a Jolly Rogers doe and the sires Desertwinds.

The 'closer' one breeds... the quicker both Good and Bad genetics will surface.
In a lot of species where breeding is controlled by humans, a tight inbreeding will be done just to 'see' if there are any bad and / or lethal genes in the line.
Also if there are super Good genes, inbreeding will 'Set' those traits quicker.
