My little Snoodles was a product of in-breeding, and I can tell you, she had a very short life---3 years. She had bad knees, then had two strokes. It was not fun to deal with, and my vet said even though they say it is okay to breed father to daughter etc. It is NOT a good thing. And, after having to watch what little Snoodles went through, I made sure my new one, Misty had a mother and father that in NO way were related! I made him show me his papers. I would never want to go through that again. She never had a chance from the beginning!
