How close is to close?

In your opinion how close is to close when breeding in? Uncle-Niece? Father-Daughter? Mother-Son? Brother-Sister? And when do you finally out cross? Are you more Likely to double up on the good or the bad traits? Do you feel that an inbred hound from excellent stock that doesn't display all of the wanted traits is able to pass good traits from the line to his pups in an outcross?
