How on earth could you allow this to happen? Personally I would have the dog fixed now before the pups are born.

Show breeders do this all the time but they do a lot of research to make sure the lines are free of defects before they do it because it can cause problems. My mom did the same thing to her Labs and all the pups were fine except one which died at about 5 wks old from some kind of brain problem . I would not advise it if you don't know your dogs bloodlines for many generations are clear of health problems. I would get the dog fixed and the puppies aborted. I know it can be hard but you don't want to put any more unwanted puppies into the world what is the difference between doing it now or 3 yrs down the road in a shelter. which is where a lot of pitts end up. It's sad but true.

Sadly, you won't know what type of "damage" has been done by inbreeding until the pups are older in a lot of cases. This is because a lot of the problem is behavioral/aggression, and may not be able to be worked with.
Take these dogs to the vet, have the pregnancy aborted, and get them both fixed. In fact, contact http://www.pbrc.net and you can apply through their spay/neuter fund...
This is why pit bull type breeds are being banned and killed...irresponsible owners who should have gotten their dogs fixed, but didn't care enough to do so.

In close inbreeding like this it is IMPOSSIBLE for anything to be in the puppies that is not in either of the parents or the grandparents. Simple genetics can teach anyone that. Only experienced breeders should attempt an inbreeding because they have studied and thoroughly know their dog's pedigrees.
If both parents and their parents have very stable temperaments, the puppies will. Problems appear because people do not know their dogs pedigrees, have no knowledge of genetics, and have no busines ever breeding their dogs.
Maybe it's past time to get these dogs spayed and neutered!

It's not the same as when humans inbreed. It takes more then one generation to cause serious damage. If you find homes for the pups BE HONEST to potential owners about who the parents are, don't ask for more then what you've financially invested (shots) in each pup and then spay and neuter ALL of your dogs!

The pups may be fine or they may not bee.
You may have birth defects or not. By breeding so closely to the line you risk brining out the worst qualities in these pups.
If you choose to have this litter please get these animal fixed after so you do not have the problem again.

They may very well have physical problems. I'm not sure about aggression. I would talk to a vet. Then I would have one or both preferably both dogs fixed. This shouldn't be allowed to happen again.

My great aunts Dog had puppies by her sons and they turned out perfectly fine. Its not the same with dogs as it is with humans.

You'll just have to wait to see if the pups are healthy. That's all there is to it. As long as there are defects in their ancestors, you should be ok, but if there are, you have a greater chance of them showing up. Next time, just do a better job, or get one fixed.

No you need to take her to the vet to have the babies aborted and get her FIXED.
