I totally agree....I'm no breeder, but I would think u could have lots
of problems by in-breeding.

This is called inbreeding. Some breeders do purposely do it if they
have outstanding quality dogs that they wish to reproduce. But keep in
mind that while it can potentially double the positive, it can also
more easily double the negative.
I do not inbreed and personally would never consider it nor recommend
it. Therefore, I do not have a lot of knowledge in the area. I have
heard something about it being ok to breed the son back to the mom OR
the daughter back to the dad....but I can't even remember which way
they said it was suppose to go. One way was considered "acceptable"
and the other totally unacceptable.
Personally, I think it is a very bad idea all the way around and if
possible, you need to avoid it. There are many genetic complications
that can arise.
