i've seen it happen by accident when i sold b/s pair to a guy they all came out lookin good and all but the jist of it is [ if there are any bad genes or flaws it will compound them or bring them to the surface . i'll do it with my chicken lines just to test for flaws ] but i can eat them later
This is what I think about brother sister cross. If your dogs are already tight bred, meaning line bred and inbred then I wouldn't do it.
If the sire and dam to the brother and sister are not related or have a small percentage of relations then I would breed the brother sister. Then I would cull hard on the pups and keep the best of the best for breeding. This would bring your bloodline faster to a pure strain of hunting dogs if the selection process is accurate. The idea here is to select the best genes/traits and cull out the rest. This is taking out the undesireable from the bloodline and you can then line breed off of the pups.
I had some pups that the sire was also the grandsire on the dams side and also the great great grandsire on the dams side and we had a high percentage of hog dogs.
When breeding dogs there is no compromising or making excuses for the dogs that are to be bred. We have to call it like it is... If it takes 3 years to make a pup a hog dog and we make that pup into a breeder then we can expect to have to do the same with the following generations.
Again, if the strain of dogs are in the early stages of line breeding then breeding full brother sister is good if they are of high quality. If the line is established then I wouldn't do it.
