In humans, it sometimes only takes one generation. I imagine that, since it takes wolves, foxes and coyotes five generations, it would take dogs about the same. I have a dog that is the product of a brother/sister mating (not my choice, but she is a great dog), and she seems in perfect health.

Funny cuz I just asked a friend the same question yesterday... about cats tho. But you know animals are like humans in a way. They communicate (in their language) lol. I don't think it really matterz! Um sweetie I think it doesn’t work like humans. Funny cuz I just asked a friend the same question yesterday… about cats tho.

That granny tale to keep your brother away from you is bogus. IN-& LINE-breeding is HOW ***ALL*** PUREBRED animals...every species .....were developed & refined. PLANTS TOO! PROS know WTF they're doing....nitwits don't. Nothing “happens”…w/humans OR other animals.

Breeding with a close relative greatly increases the likelihood of defective genes to be passed on to the offspring. Yes, there’s a very good chance that the puppies would be abnormal.

I have a dog from a suspected close mating and he really does have some bad physical deformities and problems. You should never breed that close. that close inbreeding will show up genetic problems and can cause some quite nasty problems in the puppies.

Some breeders may use inbreeding or line breeding to breed away from health issues, but this is only done after extensive genetic testing and study of the pedigree and genetics.. even then, I dont know a breeder who would breed a pup to its parent or sibling.. as its too likely they will share a rare genetic disorder. there is a higher chance of abnormalities and birth defects.. as well as a higher chance of health issues. yes.
