You may find a size reduction in the pups...you may also find them all healthy..it will just depend on what genetic faults are in the line and what pups get what, if anything..the problems of a close inbreeding does not always show at 8 or 12 weeks..or even 12 months...some genetic problems come later in life..for this reason it is always best to be up front with the new owner, telling them the puppies are closely inbred and allow them to decide...of course one look at the pedigree will tell anyone what happened.
Accidental breedings happen, repeated "accidental" breedings do not...
