| I don't know what the answer is..........but common sense tell you the genes are very close and it's a no-no. I wouldn't do it if I was her.

| This is a definite no-no, especially in a pure-bred dog. Genes in a baby (dog/human/whatever) come 50% from the father, 50% from the mother. When you mate a father to one of his daughters, their children will be 75% from the original father. The major problem with this is that genetic traits are much more likely to occur - this is why purebred dogs are much more likely to have genetic disorders (like luxating patella), since there is a common ancestor that is relatively recent. If you would like a more in-depth discussion, look up "recessive alleles" on wikipedia, but in short, it's a very bad idea.

| No matter the breeds . There will never be a good reason to breed father to daughter . |

| Yep, that is definitely wrong. Too many genetic things can go wrong and you can end up with dogs with all kinds of problems. |

| that is considered in breeding and any faults the line might carry will be compounded in the off spring. |

| I know someone who has done that with her Bichon's and even tho some of the babies appear fine on the outside, some of them have weird tails so I would imagine everything is not right on the inside. There was a cat family that lived under my stepmom's trailer that she fed and they inbread - strange tails and many illnesses. I would not think it would be healthy. But, then, I am no expert. I just know I wouldn't do it.

| I was thinking about this yesterday and it's true, it does happen in the wild. But their purpose is to keep the species alive. They don't have conciences. They just do it. So, then, that may explain all the mutant animals. It still seems to me like that's just asking for genetic problems.
