Line Breeding v. In-Breeding

Great discussion. I'd like an opinion on this breeding. I've got two Old School daughters out of a Thunder / Bobb / Superman doe. I also have a really nice Old School Yearling out of a Thunder / "Old School's mother" doe. So if I bred them, they would be double bred Old School, Gladiator, Thunder, and triple bred Old School's mom.



In your opinion is this breeding to tight or just right? I was going to breed them to another Gladiator son with a different dam side, but I'm thinking the above breeding could be even better. Thanks for you thoughts.



I know someone has an opinion
 
Hey Steve. Hope all is well buddy.

It's a little tough to say without seeing the pedigree written out. If you put the pedigree of the offspring on paper then you can go through it top to bottom and write out the percentages of each deer's contribution to the fawns.

Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of line-breeding, so I'd like to see it if you get a chance to put a pedigree together.
