Can a sire dog breed his offspring with no problems?
No, a sire dog should not breed his offspring due to the risk of inbreeding. Inbreeding occurs when closely related individuals mate, such as a parent and offspring or siblings. This can result in genetic defects, health problems, and reduced genetic diversity in the offspring. Inbreeding also increases the risk of recessive genetic disorders, as both parents may carry the same recessive gene.
