Obviously i know what litter brother and sister are but if a dogs parents were bred together again 2 years later would the pups from both litters be brother and sister or half brother and half sisters also what quality of pups would you get by breeding one from the 1st and one from the 2nd .

Just curious as there is a boxer in our street and from what the lady was telling me that is how she has her dog ,he looks ok if a little small.

The puppies from the same parents in different litters will be FULL brothers/sisters & breeding them together would be like breeding brother & sister from the same litter

This is NOT something to be done by novices

Moonmaiden is right. It would be just like if you were a twin, then your parents had another baby. The baby would still be your brother or sister not half brother or half sister.
Littermates is just a quicker way of saying "born in the same litter". Any puppies from the same parents are full brothers & sisters regardless of whether they are born in the same litter or 5 years apart.
In breeding dogs such matings should only be done by very experienced and knowledgeable breeders.

what about breeding half brother and sister, as there is one breeder i know who does this quite often!!

Depends entirely on the faults & virtues of the ancestors as to whether it's a good or bad idea.  The problem is that most people producing puppies have no idea of the quality of dogs on a pedigree! :(

This lady has just moved on to our street and as I walked passed the garden with my dogs she came out and introduced herself and her dog .I was polite to her but when she started waffeling on about the parents of this dog being very well bred and that was why they had bred them together i knew there was something not right when i asked her for the affix ( I was trying to catch her out ) she said " whats an affix " it turns out that there is no affix and no pedigree either.

It is a shame that dogs are just bred for money and hope she doesn't decide to breed herself.

but surely if her dogs are good natured and well lokked after, then she's not doing anything wrong by breeding? its a free country after all ;-)

They may be good-natured and well-looked after, but are they healthy - physically themselves and genetically? If not, then she's doing a very wrong thing.

the first staffie we had came from a "breeder" and she had problems in later life, mainly with her vision and breathing troubles. the second dog we got was an irish staffie, which arent recognised by KC and rarely have health tests done, this dog was fantastic, never had her at the vets, lived to good age too, 15.

So are you basing your feeling, theories and thoughts about dog breeding on one dog?

Your first staffie's parents could have been good-natured and well-looked after - your most important criteria. But were they healthy? What checks had they had done - and passed?
