Question on genetics

So I'm asking this coming from the world of exotic bird breeding...

For those of you breeding, is there an ethical code for keeping blood lines pure? Like in the bird world an ethical breeder would not cross a Fischer's Love Bird with a Peach Faced. It would never happen in the wild, and the breeder would create birds with genetic impurity. The end result in most cases with birds is sterility in the cross bred young.

So, if you own an Eastern and a Puget Sound, assuming they were of opposite sex, would you house them seperately so as not to mess up natures balance?

Just curious.

Thanks
