Linebreeding vs inbreeding

Oh, they were definitely SF, Bunnylady. The lady I bought the original breeding trio from only raised SF. I do need to learn more about conformation though...

One breeder told me the best thing about rabbit breeding is that you get to eat your mistakes

Anywho, you might want to consider just breeding your does back to their sire, or a buck kit back to the dam. Whichever would suit your breeding program the best. For example, if your buck is a significantly better specimen than your doe, then line breeding on him would make more sense. From my understanding, that would be less likely to magnify faults as much, or create genetic issues from the genes being too similar. But all goes back to what AZ said. If you don't like the results, cull them and don't do it again.

Agreed. The key to linebreeding or any familial breeding is that what you keep should always be superior to their parents. That can mean a LOT of culling, but as long as you keep only the healthiest, best formed rabbits, you should be okay.
