Sad Inbreeding???

Hi All!


Was wondering if anyone here could help clarify something for me.

A couple of the breeders I looked at have bred half siblings both having the same sire. Since I've noticed it, it seems more and more prevalent... or maybe I'm just more aware lol
Now, is this considered inbreeding? And is it common in the yorkie world??
I've read that inbreeding can lead to a number of problems including health, disposition, etc.
Anyone have any experience with this? I know keeping lines "pure" is difficult due to a limited gene pool, but I don't want to set myself up for a baby with issues

Thank you in advance!
