There is no garuntee that the puppies will be born with a disorder of some sort, but it is a higher likelihood than if the dogs were unrelated. When you breed two animals with highly similar genetics, recessive traits, perhaps some diseases, are more likely to make an appearance. If you can't get the mother spayed before its too late, then you should definitely either get her spayed later to prevent this from happening again. And to answer your last question, the gestation period for dogs is nine weeks or so, little more than two months.

YES! Any unaltered male/female regardless of family can have puppies together-it's called inbreeding and a lot of "backyard breeders" do this. As far as having normal puppies I am not sure and would advise you to call your vet and ask them. They may have you bring your female in to check for pregnancy but they can really answer that question the best I feel because they know what kind of health the dogs are in and if they are prone to genetic problems. One or both of the dogs should be altered to prevent this from happening again though and also for their health.

Chances are that she may be pregnant. The only reason why that is not good is because of the genetics. The mother may have genes that lead to abnormalities, but are not expressed because her father and mother are not related (this is called a recessive gene). She may have transmitted this gene to her son, but still remain dormant because his father is not related to the mother as well. But once she mated with her son, there is at least a 25% chance that their pups will inherit a copy from the gene from here and a copy from him and because that is the only type of gene, their pups may express that bad gene, leading to abnormalities. You can find more information if you do a good search for effects of inbreeding in dogs. I recommend that if you are keeping them together, you spay her or neuter the dog.

YES THEY CAN!!!!! Why would you leave an un-fixed mother dog with her un-fixed son?
If these dogs did mate and the female is pregnant, it is better to have the pups aborted because inbreeding can cause major defects in the puppies and it could cause you or whoever you give them to lots of money, time, & heart ache! The mother has to be more than 6 months old to have had pups, so be responsable and Spay & Neuter at 6 months of age instead of creating more pound puppies!

Of course he can get her pregnant, but this is in-breeding and the puppies could be born with birth defects and healthy problems. Please take the mother in to the vet and have the preg. aborted. Dog breeding is the same thing as people do you think a mother and son human should have kids??
Wow I can see allot of answers here from people who should not be breeding or giving advise on breeding!! NO WAY IN THE WORLD should you breed family members!! Point blank and end of story!! This is called in-breeding and it is very bad!! Should you have kids with your sister or your mother!!! NO!!! Anyone doing this is a BAD breeder why do you think there are so may dogs with problems with tempermate and health!!! Because people in-breed!!

Yes it's absolutely possible for your female dog to now be pregnant. With any mating there is always the possibility of "abnormal" or stillborne puppies.
If the mating was accomplished just a short while ago, you can still have her spayed to prevent this (and future) pregnancies. We also suggest neutering your male dog.
Spaying/neutering not only protects against pregnancy, it can improve the overall temperament of the dog and protect the dogs from hormone-based cancer and other reproductive disorders.

Of course the can. There's a good chance they'll be "retarded". My sisters dog breed with the father and one of the puppies was the Vet had the term but Its when people are larger than normal and retarded. poor inbreds

Yes they can have babies but their might be some defects. Why aren't they spayed?????? To bring another litter into this world is unconsciounable considering all the animals that are put down everyday because there are to many animals and not enough homes. Take her to the vet.

Yes they can but its really not a very good idea. Dogs and all mammals are not supposed to breed with close family members as it can cause birth defects and problems for the offspring.
