[TeddyandTiffy]

My daughter told me that her boyfriend's friend who does this all the time and she said that U can breed U're father and daughter, mother and son and it's okay to do this...Well wondering about this I called AKC and they said YES U can, they regeister litters all the time this way...The lady I spoke to did say it was inbreeding tho...Okay is this right? Do U all here do this? I just about fell out of my chair when I heard this...I wouldn't think this would be legal here for a breeder...Can U all help me to understand this? Is this right to do it? And how many of us buy inbreed AKC dogs and really don't know it unless we get their pedigree and see it on there? (I just went back on Tiffanie and Theodore 3 generation) And even when we do get their pedigree how do we know their not inbreed? Is it safe to do for our new puppies, what about the parents? Will it harm them...Will our puppies come out with birth defects? What's the risk? Please help me to understand? Hugs, Lee
