Hey guys! I recently acquired another puppy from my uncles bloodline and while I was at his house today I questioned him about who he bred who to and found out that it looks something like this A & B are brother and sister and C is the daughter of B bred back to her dad, Making my dog (A) half brother and uncle to C! I just wanted to see what everyone her thought on this situation and what everyone thought my results would be if I bred them (A&C)?? Thanks guys! I read through a few of the other threads and it seems fine judging by those threads but wanted to hear feedback on this particular situation.

I think you will get a bunch of three-headed chihuahuas, and they'll be some jam-up running catch dogs for sure

Would they be able to stop 3 hogs at a time??

You will see  what the faults in your line are for sure ( for example bad voice, bad legs, over/under bite)...However, they won't have three heads, they will eat, number 2, and lick you just like the rest...

There is an old horseman's adage that goes like this:
"What is the difference between inbreeding and linebreeding? Who's doing it. If I'm doing it, it's linebreeding. If you're doing it, it's inbreeding."

The thing about inbreeding (and yes, from a genetic perspective linebreeding is inbreeding) is that it increases homogeneity. This means that it does not "create" anything, it simply "magnifies" or "amplifies" what is already there. Recessives, both good and bad, will come to the fore.

Inbreeding is the most powerful tool in the breeders kit. And like any very powerful tool, it needs to be used very carefully and with a proper understanding.

To answer your question directly... Without knowing anything about the dogs in question and their pedigree's, it's impossible to say what any particular in/line breeding strategy will produce.

There is no need to be afraid of inbreeding, you simply need to understand that it's going to give you a painfully honest window into what you have hidden in your pedigrees, both good and bad. If you have jam-up dogs, it can help you fix that into your line. That said, if you have some obscure recessive disease hiding in your dog's background, it can also end up fixing that into your line as well. The key is selecting and culling wisely so that you continually reinforce the inbred traits you want, and dilute the ones you don't.

Thank you for the responses Waarheid & DgdawsonBMC! I really like the male that I have and the fact he offered me a female I just had to jump on it but then of course the next idea through my head was "Can I breed them for the future?" I understand about how having to much of one gene will magnify that gene in the offspring and could bring out some monsters from the closet. Thanks again!
