| Full brother and sister should never be bred. One of them needs to be altered. Puppies resulting from this breeding would be complete genetic disasters. This is why it is illegal to marry your brother and have children. To do something like this would be completely irresponsible on your part. |

| Brother and sisters are simply NOT ever allowed to mate! Would you have babies with your brother? Eww.. They will if left to their own decisions. They do not know and don't care if they are related and will mate when the female goes into heat. One of the dogs needs to be fixed (rather both should be fixed anyway if they aren't for breeding) If they were to breed, it would be a terrible incident soley due to your own irresponsible actions. I kinda hope this was a joke question..

| breeding it's not so much of a moral issue as a HEALTH issue. Please take a science class about genetics. Basically everyone has some bad recessive genes. If two people get together both with these recessive genes there is a chance they will become active genes and something bad can show up. It should be illegal to breed like this. You can get sued if you sell a puppy with a genetic disorder. It's called the puppy lemon law. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | besides, the morality issue only lies with humans...dogs don't care or know for that fact. either way, the genes are too closely related.

| The dogs won't know that it is inbreeding, but you will. Brother and sister should NEVER be bred .... it is asking for an unjustly genetic disaster. Totally unfair to any pups that would be born. I am glad you asked though, because now you know for sure that it is a big "no no". |

| cheryl said everything i wanted to say. breeding relatives drastically increases the chance of bringing out very bad characteristics. i skimmed this article and it seemed to give a pretty good explanation for you in terms of dogs http://www.netpets.com/dogs/referenc...diversity.html |
