This isn't as bad as you think. Dogs are not like humans and in fact, most breeders use incest (usually not in the same generation - it depends on the recessive and dominant genes but more than one generational separation is common) to manipulate bloodline and genetic outcome all the time. This practice is so common, in fact, that most AKC breeders require a 5 generational tree to track the genetic structures. Find the puppies a good home and then spay/neuter the 2 of them to prevent future issues.

alot of times with purebred dogs the brother and sister procreate. at first this does not lead to problems but after the same family inbreeding and inbreeding this leads to problems. that is why purebred dogs have problems. chances are your puppies will be fine. just once the puppies are born get bella and chumpy fixed asap.
have a good day.

It would be best to either have the puppies aborted and her spayed at the same time; or to let her have the puppies. There is a mismate shot but is has to be given within 48 hours; after that there really is only spaying her and taking the pups at the same time.
If you allow her to have the pups; be sure to alert the new owners that the pups are inbreed in case there are any gentetic probelms arising from the so close inbreeding. Also be sure to keep her seperated next time if you don't spay her.

Abort, spay and neuter. Sounds like you didn't intend for this to happen but the road to hell is paved with "good intentions", I'm not picking on you, just take a little bit more care of your pets. Even if they weren't related you'd still be in the same spot of pregnancy. You can also consider the mismate shot. It can cause severe side affects, consult your vet, act now if you don't want the litter.

First off, any person that owns a dog will know that if there are a boy and a girl, living together, neither spayed nor neutered, they will try and conceive.
Abort the pups. People say that if you breed and brother and sister together, the pups will be deformed.
After you abort the pups, go get the female spayed and the male neutered.

Personally, if you don't want the responsibility of the pups I would abort them.
I know that breeders often mate relative animals to keep a blood line thick with specific traits. Usually it is fine, but if you inbreed to much that causes problems. We raised Beagles and they have accidentally breed together and thank god nothing serious has come of it. All the pups were healthy and intelligent. If you are prepared to deal with the extra responsibilities then I wouldn't worry about it. I do seriously recommend talking with the vet because the mother will need extra care and vaccinations possibly.

in case you took care of their mom... how ought to you no longer comprehend the birthdate? And what does it somewhat is counted, canines should not be bred in the previous they're 2 years of age and fully screened for wellbeing matters. on account that particularly some the flaws stable breeders exhibit screen for can't be screened until eventually the canines is two (rules set up because of the fact canines proceed to advance a minimum of until eventually they're 2) your mom is quickly irresponsible. word: I say your mom because of the fact i anticipate you're decrease than 18. word: I say irresponsible.. i did no longer say undesirable guy or woman.. only irresponsible. puppies from siblings can finally end up only high-quality... while they're bought at 8 weeks they would be candy beautiful lil puppies .. enable's desire they stay so as they mature... of direction, via then they won't stay with you.. will your mom be monitoring those puppies wellbeing by adulthood as she would desire to? i'm hoping you may come again in 2 years and rub this in our faces. enable's additionally desire that this being pregnant without stable supportive nutrition has no longer unduly affected this youthful dam. returned, the outcomes won't be obvious at modern-day. Please ascertain those puppies flow out on spay/nueter contracts. stable success. and that i in my opinion do recommend that.

I heard that if they get bred with their family the puppies will turn out weird and a lot of them will die in the litter! So as soon as you can you should call your vet for appointments with both dog! I hope everything goes ok!

You don't need to get them aborted. Incest is pretty common in the animal world, and though it can lead to some genetic defects, it can also still product perfectly healthy puppies. They aren't going to be show-worthy, but they are still worth having around. If you have any doubts take your pup into the vet to talk about your concerns.
If all incestual pregnancies were aborted, Britain wouldn't have a royal family to speak of - that family is full of cousin's hooking up with cousins. Ewe.
