can i breed a ukc apbt male with a puppie from his sister/litermate off of thier father,or will it be to close

Question

both of my puppies(male/female) are from ceaser(father), so i know i can't breed brother and sister, but i bred the daughter back to her father(ceaser),now i want to breed one of her female pups back to her litermate/brother. these dogs are ukc american pitbull terriers : recap
father=daughter1+son1, father+daughter1=daughter2, can i do
son1+daughter2?

Answer 1

I wouldn't they have to be 2nd or third cousins I think.

I try to make sure mine are not related at all.

Answer 2

ABsolutely--it's too close--you take a really big risk on creating puppies with lots of health problems when you inbreed--and that my friend is inbreeding.
Breed the sister to an unrelated male--Keep a female and breed it out again to an unrealted male. Puppies from that breeding could be bred to the Father (Ceasar) or the brother.
You would get much better quality and healthier puppies.

Answer 3

Breeding father to daughter was too close of a breeding. I dont think its advisable to breed the male to a dog that is so closley related.

I dont know any reputable breeders who do such tight inbreeding. That pup is technically a half sibling AND a neice to the dog you want to use.

If there are eny recessive genes for defects or genetic disease, they are more likely to crop up with a tight inbreeding than with any other breeding.

Answer 4

Well if you have any problems at all in the lines.. You are going to find out about it pretty darned quick. Not only that, but you will be locking it right in there.. This sounds like someone too cheap to find a quality stud to breed to.. Why would you do this?? Are you checking to see what kinds of problems your line carries?? You are going to find out.. Hope you are prepared to either keep them all, take them back when they start acting like space cadets, or put them to sleep cause they are walking in circles.. If You have to breed.. at least breed to a quality male that isn't so close..

This is why dogs end up banned, people inbreeding them so tightly they turn into air heads..

Answer 5

Thanks for asking. I recommend that you not do this breeding.

The closer the parents are genetically, the increased probability of bad recessive genes expressing themselves. These genes could cause health problems or even death in the puppies.

You have already bred the daughter back to her father, which is way too close. That litter has 3/4 the genes of the father, and only 1/4 the genes of the daughter's mother (who hopefully isn't related to Caeser at all.

Before you breed another litter, I recommend you learn more about dog genetics. When you produce puppies, you owe it to the puppies to give them the best possible start. To me, this means that you ensure:
-- That you are knowledgeable about your breed, their characteristics, flaws, potential health problems, and behavior.
-- That both parents have been selected from the best possible representatives of their breed.
-- That both parents have been screened for health problems such as hips, eyes, elbows, skin problems and any others that the breed tends to have.
--- That there are homes willing and eager to take the puppies before the litter is conceived (in other words, a waiting list).
-- That you have adequate financial resources for proper veterinary care for the mom and puppies before and after they are born. For example, if the mom needs an emergency c-section to deliver the puppies.
-- That you are willing to screen potential owners to make sure they have the puppies' best interests at heart and will not abuse them.
-- That you are willing to take back any puppy any time the new owner is no longer able to care for it, or chooses not to keep it. After all, it's your breeding, so you're responsible for these babies.
-- That you are active in helping your local APBT rescue group find homes for unwanted dogs -- and, in your breed, there are a lot of pit bulls who need new homes.

If you're not willing to do it ethically and conscientiously, then I believe you should spay and neuter all of your dogs.

This country kills more than 11 million dogs every year. Many of these dogs are fine, healthy animals, purebred and mixed breeds, who would make great pets. All of us owe it to the pets we claim to love to do everything we can to bring down this number.

And every one of us can help, in our own way.

Answer 6

Any time you stay in the 'immediate family' when breeding, it is still considered INNBREEDING! This can result in genetic disorders and wacky and possibly aggressive dogs with no attention span. Pit bulls have suffered enough! Don't make it worse by imbreeding. Keep the breed lines pure, and the breed will survive, cross it, and it wont.

Answer 7

You will be producing "problems" 10-fold! Keep the line as pure as possible. Inner-breeding is just this. Personality traits in dogs are passed on to begin with, so please be responsible for them. Dogs will make any choice they want, but it's up to us to control that. Sad how many of them wind up in shelters these days. No...........please don't do this. Thank you from more of us than you think.

Answer 8

too close ..you are going to have health issues.
why are you breeding them?
are they papered and registered?
i mean what is the purpose.
i have 2 female apbt and they are both spayed.

Answer 9

Whatever bad genetics that lurk deep within your dog(s) gene-pool you are concentrating. Not to mention the fact that you are inviting possible mutation.

Yes, you can.

No, you shouldn't.

Answer 10

its called inbreeding
inbreeding=health and mental problems

so NO do not breed them
