Question about a breeder

I was looking to get a new pup and the breeder I went to mated the father back to his own pup. Is this common and safe? Thanks

 

I would not do it personally but it does happen.
Father to daughter is to close in the gene pool in my opinion.

Lets say the breeder did not get all the tests done and the father had HD ( Hip Dysplasia) This would have been genetically passed to his offspring so mating him with his daughter would just make matters worse.

Personally i would not buy a pup from this breeder.

Its been done, but IMO should only be done to preserve a bloodline and trait. Seriously heavy testing should be done on both to insure nothing is being passed or problems created.

 

It just depends on the breeder and the dogs.

Bloodlines are created by inbreeding and linebreeding. It is done to keep the traits you want from a dog in a line, that would be the foundation dog.

If the dogs are not good reps of the breed and have problems it will magnify the problems.

The way to make your decision would be to judge by how good of a breeder the person is and how good their dogs are, its not a simple yes or no.

I'm quite pleased with my inbred dogs, I chose them for a reason. I have several from different bloodlines and inbred in different ways.
Here is my girl from father/daughter breeding



This is my male who's triple bred off a dog. His dam is from a father/daughter breeding and sire has the same father as the dam making them half brother/sister.

Currently I'm preparing to do a grand father/grand daughter breeding
