it is normally daughter to father but cant see what problems it would cause. i look at it this way - forget for a sec theyre related, would you be willing to use the dog on your bitch? if so then go ahead.

a friend did this but with saluki grey /bull grey to her son and she had a litter of 5 and after 4 weeks and there were some stomach problems and 4 died at 4 weeks then the other 1 died at 6 weeks but dont no what from. but he said he only done that breeding because it worked for him before with 2 different mother and son and that litter is still kicking at 2yr old.so up to you mate .atb shaun

Isn't this refered to as Line breeding? Lots of breeders do it to keep specific traits. Though I would of thought it only useful if the mother is exceptional or has something specific your looking for in a dog? as in reality your trying to make the pups 3/4 Dam genes and only 1/4 from the Whippet Grandsire.

Theirs a fair number of Bullcrosses out there doing the job well and some might well have something extra you'd like in your pups. Get out with some others if you can and see if they've got something the Son hasn't, if not then get on and do it.

 

Don't forget though, both positive AND negative traits from her will be increased and reduced from the grandsire in the pups.

 

All the best

this is called line breeding, most pedigree breeders do this to keep colour and type but they do often breed duffers

i have said no in the vote, as i personally think its too close,

but can see the reason for breeding 2 good working dogs,and would suggest using another good working dog that have similar breeding to your bitch, but good luck in whatever you choose
