A co-worker has had an accidental breeding between her 5 year old German Shepard bitch and a full brother to the bitch. To make matters worse she was unaware that her bitch was pregnant until it was to late. She knows this is totally un-responsible and is absolutely appalled at herself for letting it happen. She is a person who loves her dog like I love my Berners and even though I am also appalled by it, I think she need a supportive friend right now instead of someone to critize her. So I'm trying to gather information. What I am wondering is what are the consequences of this happening, will the puppies be normal, will they have genetic shortcoming? It has also brought up the question of how do animals in the wild avoid this, or do they?
Thank you in advance, there is a huge amount of knowledge and experience on this list and I appreciate the information.
