Actually, according to what Straton wrote in The American Pit Bull Terrier, and, also what's written in, The Art of Breeding Better Dogs, and, Genetics, and Coat Color, and many other books on genetics, a double breeding can be a good thing; if you breed the best, to the best.
In cases like that, there have been instances of 50 generations of inbreeding, without any filial degeneration.

It is possible to inbreed good hips into your dogs.
It's possible to inbreed healthier dogs.
Because, you can make an undesirable gene so recessive with SELECTIVE inbreeding, it hardly ever shows up in the offspring.
Unless you breed with a dog, which has not had the same gene bred/inbred out of them.
It's even possible to inbreed two different lines out of one set of parents, without filial degeneration, and get hybrid vigor, when you cross the lines back together, after many generations.
Wolf packs, are inbred.
Many of the breeds of dogs, which we have registered with the AKC, and the UKC, right now, would not exist without inbreeding.
If you look far enough back, on pedigrees the dogs on this page, which have the best conformation, you will see inbreeding.

But, the only reason for inbreeding, is that you are breeding the best, to the best.
People who compromise on the quality of the stud, or the bitch will always see the results in the pups, for generations.
If put two dogs with defects together, it will give you defects in the puppies; especially if they're inbred.

It doesn't matter if you are outcrossing, inbreeding, or linebreeding, if you are doing it for money, and not to improve the breed... you will have inferior dogs.

I should have looked at the site.
