Answer 9

There is line-breeding and cross-breeding and it's used, but very rarely, by professional horse breeders.  Maybe also other animals but horses are the only ones I'm familiar with.

And no, it isn't always gross, or wrong, or whatever - but - you must be extremely knowledgeable of what you're doing and research the bloodlines of the animals for many generations to make sure you're doing the correct thing.

Answer 10

Gross

Answer 11

This is most often called line-breeding and is actually used quite often in certain animals to improve type.

I breed rabbits, and many people will do Mother-Son crosses or Father-Daughter crosses because if linebreeding is done correctly, it improves the type on the offspring. However, if the animals are linebred too often or incorrectly, it can cause birth deformities or weakness in the offspring.

Answer 12

Incest, lol.

Actually inbreeding. And it can cause the babies to be deformed and many other things.
