Not necessarly true. How about a predosposition for heaves that isn't
obvious at 6 but developes at 11? Line breeding can leave little time
bombs waiting to go off. There are many documented instances in humans
where breeding in a small gene pool has resulted in development of unique
diseases and conditions or the predisposition to certain diseases and
conditions. Line breeding carried to its extreme will lead to a weaker
species. Random out breeding is the way nature evolved the species that
survived.
