Its a German Sherperd Dog. one male and one female as i have made mention of, that they re from one mother, ... I am asking this because a Vert said, if they did, the offspring wont develop well. and they wont grow to be good looking breed, so please advise me if this really affects DOGS..

Your vet is right?.....inbreeding is just as bad with dogs as it is with people.....You should have them spayed and neutered!

Your vet is absolutely correct, you would not want to mate a brother/sister - regardless of whether they are from the same litter or different litters. Spay/neuter your dogs and leave breeding to those who have studied pedigrees, done all the required genetic health testing (and there are many for GSDs) and compete in conformation.

Sorry to disagree, but the vet isn't necessarily right. There are a lot of variables.

Inbreeding is a tool used by knowledgeable breeders to fix certain traits in their lines, and to identify recessive genes for the purpose of eliminating them from their lines. In the past, before DNA testing, it was the only way to determine if there were recessive genes in one's breeding stock.

Inbreeding is also used to develop specific lines to outcross with other lines.

It is something that should not be undertaken lightly, however, and breeders who do this do so with a lot of forethought and research. It's a slippery slope, and fraught with complications. One must be very knowledgeable and do much research before attempting it.

In this instance I wouldn't do it. And without a lot more information I wouldn't suggest breeding either dog to any other dog, either. Will these two dogs be willing to breed, even though they're brother and sister? Most certainly. The best way to avoid accidental breeding is to spay/neuter them.

While vetgroomer is right, that inbreeding can be a valuable tool in a breeding program, this person obviously doesn'y have a clue about it and so definitly SHOULDN'T be even attempting breeding if they have to ask that question!

Inbreeding should be left to those that know exactly what they are doing.
