An example of linebreeding would be breeding two "Eli" dogs ... in other words two dogs "with Eli backgrounds" together ... but with no actual common dogs/littermates as immediate parents/grandparents.
Inbreeding is what I just finished describing to you
Jack
Thank you jack that's all I was asking . I was taught that grand parents to grand kids was line breeding that's all . If I had a question I thought might be perceived as second guessing or disrespectful , I would have ask you in private message . I'm not looking for trouble just a little clairity .
You're welcome, but I had already provided my answer
Now you're asking a new question: whether grandparent-to-grandkid was linebreeding, where before you had said cousin-to-cousin.
Grandparent-to-grandkid is a form of linebreeding, sure, though I don't think it is a true inbreeding as it is not as intensive as father/daughter or mother/son.
I am sorry if I implied that you were looking for trouble, as I sure didn't think you were! Nor do I think you were being disrespectful (and I didn't mean to be either!).
You just asked a question, and I gave you my answer, and then you essentially re-asked the question again
If you think cousin-to-cousin isn't inbreeding, and I do, then we simply disagree. Tell you what: go to your local Justice of the Peace and try to marry your cousin, and they will call it "inbreeding." In some places it's legal, in most places it is not, but in all places it is considered "inbreeding" ... as at least 50% of your genetic make-up is the same
Now you're asking a new question, about grandparent-to-grandchild, which is perfectly fine. Here I am not quite so sure, actually, and I would agree with you that this is more "linebreeding" than inbreeding. Inbreeding has to do with direct offspring, siblings, or cousins IMO. The further you get away from that directness, the further away from inbreeding you are. Your grandmother didn't whelp you, and none of her direct siblings did either. You and she are only 1/4 the same blood, 3/4 different blood.
Inbreedings, to my way of thinking, have at least 50% the same blood or (in the cases of brother/sister) more than that.

Inbreeding is the breeding of related individuals. The closer the relationship between two individuals the closer/tighter the inbreeding.
Linebreeding is a term often used to describe the milder, less intense forms of inbreeding. Linebreeding is also used though seldomly to describe breeding to an individual animal in a straight line like a dog bred to his own daughters for several generations, or a bitch to her sons for several generations.
What ever terminology you use, inbreeding is the breeding of related individuals.
Mmmm, I agree with what you said, but disagree with that one highlighted part. Several generations of father/daughter (or mother/son) would form the most intensive inbreeding you could get IMO.
Jack
I agree with you completely Jack. Breeding a sire or dam to several generations of their offspring is very intensely inbred.
I was useing another definition for the term linebred. One not commonly used, to illustrate breeding to a single individual in a straight line for several generations.
