Let me put it this way...do you think that it's worth the risk of genetic related problems (even years down the line) to breed related dragons?

Hello , absolutely not. can someone please define a genetic tear? my understanding is that to see the negative results of inbreeding takes atleast 10 generations. (Ross&Marzec (1990). also I wonder if someone could mess up the bloodline by making a weaker species and ultimately lead to the genetic exhaustion of one given bloodline.
