no, it's still incest and it's still a high risk factor for unhealthy pups...now my girlfriend had a cat who had a litter and she kept a boy from the litter not knowing he was old enough to mate his mom and he did, the mom got pregnant and the kittens seemed to all the healthy according to the vet, but she really got lucky with that one....I once had a rabbit who mated with a cousin rabbit and believe it or not but all the babies from the litter died within the first two years so there was obviously something wrong there...please don't do it any professional breeder would tell you not to
