Linebreeding mice

[leamos]

I have a female that has produced 14 pups in her first litter. The plan is to cross the females from this and the next litter with the males of a litter by the same female and a new male, then crossing the best male back with the original female. If i really wanted to pass the genes on i'd mate the female with her male offspring for a few generations but that i bit to redneck for me. Will this plan produce what i want? this whole linebreeding inbreeding thing is confusing

The easiest thing to do is just get some "super mice" they have already been line bred and have large litters. Inbreeding shouldnt cause problems with a good line of mice, once they have been line bred long enough most recessive problems should be gone.
