Definitely not!! How would you like to breed with any of your relatives. Interbreeding is wrong it can cause behavioral problems in the future. they probably would breed with each other if you gave them a choice but that's not saying that's its right to do so.

Yes, you can. It's called inbreeding.
Inbreeding is not inherently bad. What it does is magnify the traits that are already there. So if the dogs had a recessive gene for hip dysplasia or deafness or something, it would definitely pop up in their puppies.
Everyone recommends, correctly, to test your dogs for inheritable diseases before breeding. This is not enough if you inbreed. There are certain recessive and hidden characteristics that will pop up when you inbreed that aren't always discernible even with all the tests. Therefore, you need to study pedigrees and many family members of both dogs to determine if this is a good idea.
This is why even very experienced breeders rarely inbreed and then only with the greatest care. Inbreeding can also enhance good characteristics, but it's much more likely to magnify bad characteristics, such as diseases and poor structure.
IN RESPONSE TO AMSTITZ: Line breeding is different from inbreeding. Line breeding also takes a lot of research and dedication, but it's not as "extreme" as inbreeding.

Yes you can and it is called inline breeding.Not recomemded ,as you could end up with pups being handicaped,or deformed,as it would be just like Mom and Son,Dad or Daughter,Sister or brother breeding in humans.

ONLY if you have studied your breed, the lineage of your individual dogs, and genetics for YEARS. Inbreeding can be a valuable tool to add or strengthen virtues in a breed that are difficult to get. BUT it also strengthens faults and undesireable traits. Many years of research and education is needed before attemtping it.
ADDED: Linebreeding is a whole 'nuther situation. It involves going to dogs unrelated close up, but with similar great great grandparents. Again, if you consider breeding, you should educate yourself on genetics.

Its called Line Breeding (a nice way of saying inbreeding). But Its highly discouraged to breed dogs so closely. Its possible to get the dog preg., but you may have pups with problems. (just like if you breed a mother to a son in people)

Inbreeding causes both genetic and behavioural problems, several inbred dogs die within their first 4 years. Not a smart idea, the ****** would probably take to the semen but the puppies would be screwed over.

I would not recommend it. It is called inbreeding and the puppies would probably more than likely come out deformed or retarded in some way. Just like humans, you cannot mate with your brother etc.

Yes you can, If its a purebreed dog then it keeps the bloodline pure. And its not a bad idea. I have a friend that has done this many times and they have always been just fine. No birth defects, and they got along great. I even bought a puppy off of him.
