This is inbreeding (the breeding of close relatives). If the other male also got to her this season, then she'll have to have the pups DNA tested to determine who the father is (definitely if these dogs are AKC or she won't be able to register the litter).

Line breeding will be breeding of distant relatives...cousins, uncles/aunts, etc.

What happened was an accident, I'm sure, but an accident that shouldn't have happened. Anyway, hope that this helps.

*edited to add* there is a chance for problems since the genes are closely related. That's why only seasoned breeders should even attempt an inbreeding.
