The only thing I wouldn't necessary agree with is breeding to a close relative. Sometimes outcrossing is best. This has to be looked into thoroughly before deciding whats best line-breeding or outcrossing.
I'm not too sure where you've got the impression that anyone is recommending breeding with a close relative? Perhaps you misunderstood what I said in my initial post, maybe I didn't make myself clear. I meant to suggest to the original poster that they try to BUY a close relative from the original breeder (if that breeder is a reputable one that health tests).

PS Thank you Trekkiemo and DT for the nice comments
