Is breeding a male and female rabbit that are half brother and half sister inbreeding?
This would be considered to be a very close Line Breeding.
This is line breeding. VERY close line breeding would be FULL brother/ full sister, mother/son or father /daughter. It is an acceptable practice and will either garner very good results (multiplying the best traits) or very bad results (multiplying the worst traits.) Line breeding is also done in dogs.
