It is way too risky if you don't know what you are doing and you can end up with a litter of puppies with several health problems because of it. You have to really know your genetics to be able to do it correctly, and this will take years of studying.

If you really want to breed, you should get an unrelated female from a good reputable breeder. Or you could do the research but this will take a long time and you would most likely have to get a pup from another litter and what you learn or find out might mean you still won't be able to do it.

So in general, unless you are professional and know the lines and genetics, then no you shouldn't do it.
I totally agree. While this does go on it should only be from people who are fully aware of genetics and the outcome. There is plenty of information regarding inbreeding on the internet and some of the outcomes. Many animals from inbreeding do not live as long and could have many health problems. This is a disaster waiting to happen if you don't know what you are doing and you could be sacrificing many puppies.
