I knew only one woman in my own lifetime of Goldens that did a inbreeding. She was a show/breeder for over 25 years. The entire pedigree was her own dogs. I never believed in it myself. Simply because recessive genes are just that, recessive, not seen. Double them and look out
Happy your Golden is healthy and happy. How old?

Actually it can cause issues, from experiences I have had in the past I know this. I had a german shepherd years ago that was severly inbreed and she had severe anxiety and agression issues. She was also possessive and dominant. It was a bad situation all together.
