I know a breeder that recently by accident her bitch mated with her brother- and has had 3 pups.

All look healthy but would you home one if you were me, im not really bothered that they wouldnt have kc papers, just would like a nice whippet?

I'd appreciate some suggestions....

Oh gosh sorry I haven't got any advice but I would be interested in the replies

i know! thats why i am asking- hope i dont get loads of critisism for asking?

Is there anyone who has heard of this mistake mating before, or has anyone adopted a pup from such breeding? :wacko:

Brother to sister mating is not something I would deliberately do, but know plenty of breeders who have done it and worse; I have even seen a pedigreee where the sire was also the grand-sire and great grand-sire.

Brother and sister could theorically be geneticaly totally unrelated = as each takes half their genes from their mother and other half from their father; if each took the opposite half. In your case, would not worry; have a puppy if you like one and the parents.

I wouldn't do that mating on purpose, but I did have a mistake brother-sister mating once and I had some lovely puppies from it but also had a cleft palate in the litter.

You certainly shouldn't get any critism for asking, it's a good question and I bet it's happened to loads of people with siblings in the house :thumbsup:

I know of one litter that was intensional (sp0 and the result was a very good litter , both the dog and bitch kept from this litter have won a CC and a r CC .It was the only litter the mother had , as every one dog she was mated to she missed

Go for it , BTW theres nothing to stop them being registered :thumbsup:

ive done line breeding in my time to fix type,ive done grandfather/granddaughter matings and never had anything other than good results.i dont see whats wrong with a bit of inbreeding occasionally,as long as the line is known and if theres any problems there that have to be watched out for.a line isnt diluted by being mated out,the same chromosones are passed on regardless and in the same amounts from mother and father.phenotype and genotype have to be studied and known before a planned inbreeding mating would take place for me.

I can see nothing wrong in having a puppy from this mating, I just hope the breeder is a bit more watchful next time specialy if she is keeping a dog or bitch from this litter herself.

Why take the risk of recessive genes etc if your not looking for a specific line or quality.

Do you think i should wait then till the breeding bitch is bred- at least then they would have proper pedigrees? :- "

They're still going to have a "proper pedigree" unless the breeder chooses NOT to register them.

If you're only after a pet - does it matter whether it's got a registered pedigree or not?

The only reasons you should be worried about this mating is (a) health issues - and it seems they are all healthy, you said so, (b) if you intend to breed from the dog yourself. And then you will have to put a lot of time and effort into researching lines and dogs before you mate this dog to anything. But again...if you're only after a pet then you should not be thinking about breeding - leave that for the students of the breed in whatever pursuit.
