Inbreeding by Breeder?

A friend of ours basically wants to kidnap Hendrix. We told them to call the breeder we got him from. They said they had another litter coming up and the mother was Hendrix's full blooded sister and the father was Hendrix's dad. Is that right? Maybe they typed it wrong in the email?

It could be, but too close for my liking. Tight Line breeding (inbreeding) is done, but you really have to know your lines 100% to go in that close and mate father to daughter. :wink:
There are many reputable breeders who "line breed"...But I would make this word of caution...Unless the breeder is a reputable breeder, one off the OES referral and active in showing, etc. I would NOT even think of a puppy from this "breeder". The reputable breeders know what they're doing with line breeding and they do so to keep the traits within the line, etc. But unless there is extensive testing done and the breeder knows what they are doing, there could be a very high risk of heritary diseases and other problems.

Just another reason why people should stick to breeders off the referral :)
