Excellent point. you can only do so much line breeding before you start getting birth defects. You would have to keep adding new genes to the process and possibly have multiple similar lines going at the same time to broaden the gene pool as much as possible.

hahahahhaa....I hope we are neighbors this coming fall! I'm in the running for a great job at a particular agency which will remain nameless (and don't write the name if you know it, I'm sure they already know everything I do! Lol).

Whatcha talkin' bout? I was hatched from a sib cross sib breeding and I turned out just fine! *twitches* *tweeks* :taz: *twitches* :rolleye2:
