I don’t think you’ll get deformities from the full sibling cross. It’ll be interesting to see what the pups throw back to most. It might tell you a lot. I’ve talked to some old timers that said to breed brother sister until you started getting the undesirables. For some that will be the first cross and for others it may take a few times of doing it. They told me that the deeper you go the more things you will see but to not worry, just cull the the undesirable ones. Then once you’re to the point that you only get one or two quality pups, then those are bred together and the quality pups out of that are what you use to outcross or breed back to other relatives that aren’t as close. They called this setting your genes. This means your selected pups are as close to ideal as think you’re going to get. The pair you start with should be the same. If they aren’t VERY similar then it might take longer. You have to select for type each litter, breeding like dogs to like dogs. I haven’t ever tried this so I can’t say if it works or not but I understand why it would. My taste in what I want is very specific, so I look for certain markers in every pup so that I increase my odds in raising a pup that is to type in every way. I don’t know what guys like Cajun use for strategy, but there is always more than one way to skin a cat. It’s kinda like the navigation on a vehicle. You put the destination in and it gives you two or three different routes you can take. You have to choose the route that suites you beat.
