If a son & mother dog accidently mated, would the pups be deformed?

Answer 1

When you do an inbreeding, any genetic faults that are in the parents, including recessive faults, will appear in the puppies. That means that unless you very, very thoroughly know all of the dogs in your dogs' pedigrees going back at least 3 generations, doing an inbreeding is not a good idea.

Only very experienced, reputable breeders can do inbreeding successfully. Much better idea to spay and neuter pets and leaving the breeding to those who know what they're doing!

Answer 2

it is quite unlikely that they would mate but whenever there is inbreeding the pups will have weak blood and open to more sicknesses an defects and that also happens with humans also once dogs mate they leave there pups unless they are the mother also pure breeds are sometimes like that and open to sicknesses because they have the same blood if they are inbreeding also try to spay and neuter before 6 months when most become sexually mature

Answer 3

Not always but yes it can happen and i have seen it working at the shelter ( we have a female dog brought in that was preg from her brother and the pups when born were deformed and didnt survive) but again this doesnt always happen. its a bad idea to inbreed as the pups could have twice as many cromosones(twice as many good and bad),higher morality rate,poor fertility etc
not all breeders inbreed , i do not!

Answer 4

No, they would just be more likely to inherit or develop genetic problems -ex. hip dysplasia
Inbreeding is the mating together of closely related dogs, for example mother/son, father/daughter and sibling/sibling matings. For breeders, it is a useful way of fixing traits in a breed - the pedigrees of some exhibition dogs show that many of their forebears are closely related. For example, there is a famous cat by the name of Fan Tee Cee (shown in the 1960s and 1970s) appeared in more and more Siamese pedigrees, sometimes several times in a single pedigree, as breeders were anxious to make their lines more typey. Superb specimens are always much sought after for stud services or offspring (unless they have already been neutered!) having won the approval of show judges.

However, inbreeding holds potential problems. The limited genepool caused by continued inbreeding means that deleterious genes become widespread and the breed loses vigor. Laboratory animal suppliers depend on this to create uniform strains of animal which are immuno-depressed or breed true for a particular disorder e.g. epilepsy. Such animals are so inbred as to be genetically identical (clones!), a situation normally only seen in identical twins. Similarly, a controlled amount of inbreeding can be used to fix desirable traits in farm livestock e.g. milk yield, lean/fat ratios, rate of growth etc.

NATURAL OCCURRENCE OF INBREEDING

This is not to say that inbreeding does not occur naturally. A wolf pack, which is isolated from other wolf packs, by geographical or other factors, can become very inbred. The effect of any deleterious genes becomes noticeable in later generations as the majority of the offspring inherit these genes. Scientists have discovered that wolfs, even if living in different areas, are genetically very similar. Possibly the desolation of their natural habitat has drastically reduced wolf numbers in the past crating a genetic bottleneck.

In the wolf, the lack of genetic diversity makes them susceptible to disease since they lack the ability to resist certain viruses. Extreme inbreeding affects their reproductive success with small litter sizes and high mortality rates. Some scientists hope that they can developed a more varied gene pool by introducing wolfs from other areas into the inbred wolf packs.

Answer 5

The pups will probably seem normal.
A better question is why you had an intact male around his mother if she's in heat!
That's just irresponsible. Leave the breeding to those who know how.

Answer 6

No, its very unlikely....animal breeders inbreed pets and show dogs,show horses, and show cats all the time.......on purpose. Wolves in isolated packs also inbreed in nature.

Severely inbred dogs (such as if you continued inbreeding the offspring of these two dogs among themselves and so on) might be more prone to inherit genetic problems or specific traits though.....

Answer 7

As long as this is the first case of breeding within the family, I'm sure it'd be fine. My mom's cats had babies together and they were all fine.

The real problem with inbreeding comes when it's done over and over and over.

Answer 8

Not necessarily, but the chances of birth defects and heath problems are significantly higher.

You need to get the dam (Female) to a vet and have her spayed / pups aborted...and also get the male neutered.

Answer 9

There are a lot of medical issues that are associated with inbreeding. They can also be physicaly deformed.

Answer 10

Not necessarily deformed, but health risks are much higher and predominate. Not the best situation.
