I think a lot of breeders inbreed when trying to produce a specific morph..
i dont think there is any big issue with it.. its often done aswell to see if one of the parents carries a particular het that could only be found when back breeding is done.. at least i think that is right.. eeji or someone else with better knowledge can give you more info

as said breeders tend to breed offspring back to parents to reinforce traits in their genes causing mutaions due to small gene pool
