timmis mum was mated with her own son..... is this also done or is it a bit close, i have never breed anything that is related as i thought it was not to be done.unless of course they were far enough down the line like say a g,g,grandparent or something like that

Yes agree,
Or it's done,when a breed is new and the gene pool is small.

I personally wouldn't breed that close.

I personally wouldn't want anything more than maybe a common distant relative. That is because I am still fairly new to the breed and I don't feel I have anywhere near enough knowledge of all the bloodlines etc to even comtemplate closer breeding. Plus, Goldens have such a large gene pool, it is easy to outcross.

I have no problem with inbreeding or line breeding if people ABSOLUTELY know what they are doing. Contrary to popular belief, it will not create any problems that weren't already there, but it can highlight problems that are there very easily. It can also be a good way to improve certain traits in a breed.

The NI's are still fairly new,I believe they are trying to get them KC Recognised.

Weren't they recently rejected??

We have done half- sister x half-brother, grand-daughter - grandfather, uncle - niece and then we outcross to bring in new lines. It takes a lot of thought and 10 generation pedigrees normally but it is the way to 'cement' a type before bringing in new blood. My father was one of the real old terrier men and they do some real close matings!!!

i prefer to keep lines different tbh it can be a pain as im havin trouble looking for a non related good quality male at the moment to bring a new line in

Friendship is like peeing on yourself.
Everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

wouldn't do it myself but if its done correctly i don't mind
what happens in a pack of wolves then, do they just know not to breed with their sister or what??

Yes they were but I believe they will try again in a few years,there's alot of fighting within the breed by some people.
