I wouldn't do it on purpose but I've only bred the odd litter for myself and rather use dogs that were good workers even if they are totally unrelated. Not worth the chance of having underlying problems come out later on. They have a strain of lab mice they only breed brother to sister and are never sick but it's probably hundreds of generations and culling to get to that stage. You are taking the bigger chance with unrelated breeding. Close breeding puts the odds in your favour. Bad breeding is fixing bad traits or conditions because they are unseen or ignored.

It would make no sense inbreeding and then immediately outcrossing, if that's needed then you shouldn't have been doing the inbreeding to start with. What is key is to cull hard when inbreeding, if done properly then you should be ok. Priority for any breeding (improvement of animals) is to make sure that neurological issues have no chance of developing. For livestock and mice that has been mentioned, have no issues in this area that's why they can be inbred time after time. Their not dogs, their extremely low IQ and stupid to put it simply. Dogs on the other hand are obviously different animals. Their train ability, intelligence and mental make up are key to having a well rounded, biddable, trainable animal that you can live with. Line breeding and inbreeding has it's place of course when trying to lock in good traits and mold a breed to suit your needs or qualities you desire. But sibling to sibling from the same litter...I wouldn't even consider that being ever an option. Too close, makes no sense, only problems. Quote Link to post

Ok, so say you have bred a litter, dogs and bitches. You raise them, work them and decide that you want to fix some traits that you don't desire. How can you fix their flaws by breeding those same animals together? You've just established that they need improving, so how can anything be improved apon if your breeding 2 animals together that lack what you need? Quote Link to post

You can lock in good or bad. Inbreeding is just a lot quicker in the beginning. 1 Quote Link to post
