Only if you are in west virginia.
Seriously no. That is sick and does lead to genetic problems

No i own a doberman who came from a litter of similar circumstances and believe it or not she is the only one still alive as the rest have been euthanased due to severe health problems. They all had bad immune systems due to inbreeding. I cant actually give my girl antibiotics because as soon as she is off them she crashes and ends up worse than she was before. Breeding dogs that are too closely related can bring out the worst genetic traits as both dogs will have the genes for those inheirent health problems so they are more likely to come out in the pups. Dont do it the world doesnt need more dogs with problems.

Sure, you *can*, but *you* should not. Join your national and local Min Pin clubs and speak with them about responsible breeding. Dogs should ONLY be bred if they are show champions - not bred simply because you have a 'purebred', an 'AKC' dog, or a dog with 'champion lines'. Too many Min Pins are given up to shelters because of bad breeding. Don't contribute to this. If you don't believe me, believe the AKC and the Min Pin club of America.

Only if you are a VERY experienced breeder with a good knowledge of genetics and of the family history/pedigree of the dogs in question. Even then you need to be really careful.

No, definitely not. Even though they're from different litters, they're still brother and sister, and inbreeding causes severe genetic mutations. The puppies will end up with both health defects and behavioral problems.

You don't have the best grasp of genetics do you? They are brother and sister!!! That's like saying it's bad for twins to have children but it's ok for regular siblings with an age difference. Neuter them both, you don't even know the basics.

um, i guess u could but im studying heredity and my science teacher said today, actually, that since there is a lot of the same kind of genes in a litter with related parents, there would be too much of the same DNA so the puppies wouldn't be as healthy...which is why some people say that it always a bad thing 2 buy pet store animals...i totally agree

Inbreeding is a very bad idea. It leads to genetic mutations and very poor pups.
Even if they came from different litters, they still have the same parents and the same genes running through them. Bad idea.

Tight "inbreeding' requires a large knowledge base and a strong stomach. At best only one in four puppy will have the traits you desire, so unless you are willing to "cull" three out of every four puppy's this is something that should not be attempted.
Has it ever been done successfully??? YES. The Llewellin Setter owes it's existence to the breeding of two English Setter litter mates.

Like there is a shortage of dogs out there or something??? WHY would you do that is the question.
Be responsible and get them FIXED. Clearly, they are not show quality and are related. BAD COMBO.
Don't be a BYB.

No! This will lead to sever genetic mutations. Would you breed with your younger or older brother or sister? No, never.
