Its not an unheard of situation.. most breeders breed "tight" to get constancy.. i.e granddaughter to grandfather, Uncle to niece. However, you are talking a little to "tight" for my taste... its inbreeding, not line breeding, and though it can produce some great pups, it can also bring out both parents weaknesses. Some breeders claim this is the best and fastest way to see what you have in your yard... but if you do it, CULL HARD. Any pups from the litter should be sold with either a spay neuter contract, or kept for yourself. If any of the pups turn out to be breeding worthy, then there definitely will need to be an "out cross".. meaning they should be bred only to unrelated dogs.

The consequences would depend entirely on the genetics of the two dogs who are parents. A close inbreeding like this is going to bring out all the recessive genes these dogs carry. Meaning, is there's hip dysplasia anywhere in the line, the puppies will have it. If there are bad temperaments anywhere in the line, the puppies will have bad temperaments.
When you do an inbreeding, if a fault is not present in the line, it can not be present in the puppies. Also, any and all faults whether you can see them or they're recessive, will be present in the puppies.
That's why only very experienced breeders with a thorough knowledge of genetics as well as their dogs' pedigrees going back at least 3 generations should ever attempt any kind of inbreeding.

I think it's retardation but i'm not totally sure because i know of a sister and brother mating and the puppies were all mentally ill.

if there are any bad genes such as displaced hips or juvenile cataracts lurking in the family background (and most genetics experts believe there is always one) there is a very good chance both sibs will have one dose (not visible in many genes) and so can pass a double dose to the pups & they will have major health problems.

Well, we had inbred cats once. The kittens were cute, but ALL of them were "stupid" to varying degrees. You could tell right away that some weren't firing on all cylinders, but others seemed normal until they got a little older and all they wanted to do was eat and sleep. They weren't active, normal cats.
I'm sure inbred dogs would be similar. Sorry...

Their offspring will live in little trailer kennels.
