Now, it's my understanding that a breeding that close (brother/sister) is only done by very experienced breeders, because it tends to accentuate attributes, both good and bad. I can't advise you if this particular pair poses more significant risks, and I'm sure there are other concerns, such as the female's age and if she's big enough for a litter. But your dogs did not "violate" each other or anything like that. |
Exactly And I'm sure genetic testing would need to be done. I guess I am just gonna pray she isn't as shes not at the body weight i would think she should be bred at either as shes only 4 lbs, But if she is she would have to be at least two weeks in. And Ill have a lot of questions about the aborting process, as I never thought I would have to think about abortion issues with a pet, I am pro life but does that pertain to animals.. So many things running through my mind, im weird-ed out but Hopefully Monday Ill have answers.
