Get out the pedigree and concentrate on the dam's side, since you would be doubling up on THAT. Are the grandparents still alive? If not, how did they die? (Try getting an honest answer for THAT one! LOL) Be objective and list the faults of both mother and son. Are they the same? Ask yourself why you want to do this inbreeding: remember that it will bring out the best and the worst. Are you ready to put pups to sleep if major problems arise?
