Description: Can anyone clarify it for me?

I've seen at Bettysplendens the article on how to line breed but I do not understand her words. She said something about father and daughter and mother and son but the rest is confusing. Can anyone explain to me how to line breed?

you would take the mother and father. spawn them. spawn the father to a daughter and the mother to a son. out of that spawn you would chose the best male and female. spawn them also to the original mother and father. then you would chose the best pairs out of the mother's line and and the father's line. take a male from the mothers line and spawn to a female from the father's line.

you would also repeat the above with another pair, preferably out of the same spawn as the first mother and father. this would be your second group.

if you have acheived what you were trying for. you would take the best male or female from the first group and the best male or female from the second group and spawn them. you would also want to keep your first and second group going by spawning.
