I absolutely concur with this expert's opinion. From a medical prospective, breeding dogs this close in relation increases the development of double recessive genetic disorders in the offspring. That why the royal families of the 18th century Europe had such high incidences of inheritted disease like mental illness, bleeding disorders, and cancer in the young. They practiced inbreeding to keep royal blood pure. What's more, in most cases, their inbreeding was not even as closely related as sharing one parent the same, but from intermarriage between cousins.
In dogs, inbreeding results in hip dysplasia, cardiac defects, dislocating knees, cancers in the young, fearfulness and agression, etc. The list goes on and on. Inbreeding weakens a breed, contributes to future offspring having to suffer with these diseases, and hurts the people who have to live with the heartache and expense of treating the dogs with these diseases.
Inbreeding is an unethical and irresponsible practice. It hurts both animals and the people who love them. Please do not breed two dogs with the same parent. In fact, cousins should not even be bred together. Genetic variety promotes the health an well being of a breed. Dogs related in any way should never be breed.
