My youngest homebred bitch champion has such a pedigree, this is a half brother to half sister mating, which is as close as I would ever go.
I would want to know the reasoning behind choosing to mate these two.In my case both parents were by imported stud dogs were outcrosses unrelated to the bitch, who was the type I want to maintain.
The bitch from her first litter is very nice (who also became a champion) was then also mated to a foreign outcross, and even though it expanded the gene pool I was in danger of loosing some of the good traits of the original bitch, and the bitch I kept is nothign special as the quality was in the males.
For her second litter I decided to use her half brother as unfortunately his sire had missed to her (he was 9 years old), but had produced to her mother.
I knew going so close would hopefully stabilise the type I wanted to retain, but that I would be forced to outcross in the next generation, which I have done.
