I'm not saying by any means to hide or continually breed if defects are present. I am merely stating that as for most of the BP community line breeding and inbreeding doesnt go farther than one to two generations, we do it because if we were to breed two visual recessives together in order to get that visual we would then need to breed brother and sister back.
There are not many people out there that will trade animals of like genetics for outcrossing because most are fearful that they will receive unhealthy animals in trade so they use animals they produced and know to be healthy.
I know what you mean about the brachiocephalic dogs and all of their issues, and personally I would never own an animal like that anyway, but more and more of the purebreeds are getting better, because they are being outcrossed. More people are studding out animals to cut down on inbreeding.
I have no animals in my collection that are related in blood, so I am merely playing Devils Advocate here, but I see no issue with "inbreeding" if done responsibly. And by responsibly I mean for the health of the animals, once something is noticed you have already crossed the line.
