What are imbreed puppies?

Inbred puppies are puppies that have parents or ancestors that are closely related to each other. This typically occurs when breeders want to emphasize certain physical or behavioral traits and have resorted to mating individuals within the bloodline to achieve an outcome within the gene pool. Inbreeding can result in the amplification of negative or undesirable behavioral attributes as well as physical health deficiencies in puppies due to decreased genetic diversity. Some common risks related to inbreeding include congenital or hereditary anomalies like hip dysplasia, poor immune response, dental malocclusion (improper dental bite), respiratory concerns, eye, thyroid or cardiac disorders leading to overall low resistance to various illnesses.

Responsible breeders should prioritize crossbreeding with diverse individuals of a species for both quality of breed preservation and animal well-being reasons for puppies overall longevity and wellness of subsequent generations.
