Ask them how long they have been breeding, how long have they researched inbreeding and everything that goes with it and why they are inbreeding, what traits are they looking to improve or keep, and it is that important that you have to inbreed rather than breeding two dogs who are not related. Ask them how well they know the genetic history and dna's of these dogs. So many questions to ask, you should be able to tell from their responses what their real motives are and if you can trust them. Inbreeding has resulted in excellent dogs, you just have to know what you are doing, which alot of people do not have clue and just stick two dogs together.
