    Location: Royal J Performance Horses, AZ | thats risky, the sire and mare are 3/4 siblings... AND i think you would have a hard time selling it possibly. If it were for resale that is.
NOW if the horse ran on the track and did great or was an outstanding barrel horse and i was looking at it to buy for whatever reason and I could see nothing wrong with the horse then yeah i'd buy it No problem. |

| I might. I don't have a problem line breeding, but that might be a little too much for me because like was mentioned the sire and dam are 3/4 siblings. It could work. But resale probably isn't going to be very good since a majority of people are scared of line breeding. I have a gelding with the same grandsire top and bottom, but no other relatives similar and people are turned off by that.
If you aren't worried about resale then I say go for it! But then again my opinion is probably going to be different than most! |

| Do you people not realize that HFD is pretty much the hottest thing in racing right now? To breed him to a 3/4 sister. I would guarantee that horse would sell in a heartbeat. |

She is crossed back on Scorcho. I'm thinking of a cross for a potential stallion prospect and runner for myself. I highly doubt I would sell this foal filly or stud. It is an intimidating cross. |

   Location: Sperry, OK | In my opinion you will get one of two things with the lines being that close... 1) you will compound all the good qualities and be very happy with it, or 2) you will compound all the bad qualities and have a POS... Is that a risk you are willing to take? |

Then I say go for it! (Just don't blame me if it comes out with 5 legs and 2 heads! Just kidding). Seriously that pedigree would not scare me unless of course there is some kind of conformation issue with the line or if they are known to be really hot, fragile minded, or something like that. |

The Heza Fast Dash's are not hot and he has been my favorite stallion here for years. I've had two and I've seen 1000 (not really) and they all look nice to me. Stud and mare have very nice conformation......and I could have the only 5 legged stallion on the market :) |

       Location: Montana | Personally, no. There was a mare for sale here locally that was double bred Texas High Dasher...he was the sire and grandsire on the bottom if I remember correctly...but a definite turn off for me. I don't mind line breeding, just not that close up.
But if you'd like, you can send me one of your nice foals for an early birthday gift. Never mind my birthday isn't until November, LOL. |

Generally those issues only occure after several generations of inbreeding. These two horses while close are not close enough to cause a problem, and if it were you could still sell the horse for a pretty penny to a research university to study. Look at the thoroughbred industy, they are only now concerned about this after they have been doing it for 100 years. It shouldn't be done over and over, but in this case it is not a issue.

Haha, So I live in a very small town. The only way for girl to guarantee she won't have to move away is to marry a local boy. The problem is that they are all cousins. My rule: if a girl is going to marry somebody, she better have to change her last name. |

        Location: Gainesville, TX | Okay, I'm going to be odd man out and side with Whiteboy on this. Overall I'm not a big fan of breeding that close, but some of the best horses out there are results of careful crosses of favorite lines. California Chrome himself is an example. You can't even develop a breed in the first place without doing this. I know a lot of foundation lines people especially in the Northwest like Hancock crosses. Realizing this is the reality of the situation, and I'm totally in love with the Shawne Bug line I've seriously considered crossing my own daughter with Shawne Bug Leo or Takin on Shawne (love his bottom side). I'd say go for it, and I want to see pictures when it turns out beautiful. And if it has a fifth hoof growing out of its forehead. Well, I'd like to see those pictures too. |

  Location: Texas | I think that would be a nice cross. I have a mare bred like that but I didn't look at her papers before I bought her. Just knew she was double bred Dash For Cash but didn't know she had joint ill as a foal so that eliminated any kind of plans for riding. Here's her pedigree. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/helix+nebula |

| SwishMiss - 2014-06-25 11:13 AM I would say NO. Id never buy something that looked like that on paper. There are always people out there who will like the same thing you do, and people who don't. So its up to you but .. .. I'd much rather see some rate in there. I've had a signature mare looks like a lunatic brew to me.
I could be wrong but I based my decision on this horse going to the track. And to be honest most on here wouldn't buy that horse, but that is because they wouldn't be able to afford it. |

I would do the cross. |

Overall I'm not a big fan of breeding that close, but some of the best horses out there are results of careful crosses of favorite lines. California Chrome himself is an example. You can't even develop a breed in the first place without doing this. I know a lot of foundation lines people especially in the Northwest like Hancock crosses. Realizing this is the reality of the situation, and I'm totally in love with the Shawne Bug line I've seriously considered crossing my own daughter with Shawne Bug Leo or Takin on Shawne (love his bottom side). I'd say go for it, and I want to see pictures when it turns out beautiful. And if it has a fifth hoof growing out of its forehead. Well, I'd like to see those pictures too.
This ^^^ and Whiteboy. |

       Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | I personally don't have the cajones to do that close of a breeding. But if the horse itself was a really good individual, I wouldn't even skip a beat at buying it for breeding purposes if I could afford it. My stallion is linebred to Jet Deck and he's the most consistent producer I've ever seen, in a good way.  |
