Browsing a popular local site for some unused paint I ..
Ad then states the mating was accidental as the ddogs are dm +ds!!
Goes on to say about reduced lifespan reflected in the low asking price!!
My gasted is truly flabbered..
Why wouldn't a vet have aborted the pregnancy never mind had at least 1 neutered or am I pearl clutching??
And how the ad hasn't been removed..

Fucking hell. That’s beyond awful.

I suspect neither dog has been anywhere near a vet, sadly.

The ad says potential owners must send her videos of their home to ensure a decent life etc!! Stomach churning tbh..

gross, but people actually do this on purpose too with some breeds. Turns my stomach

A friend of mine was amazed that her female dog was pregnant. She said she'd not let her out of the house and the only other dog was her brother, so it could be him as they were brother and sister. Some people have no idea!

It is awful but inbreeding isn't all that uncommon in pedigree breeds actually.
They call it ‘close line bred’

Aprilshowersandhail · 28/04/2021 16:15

The 2 breeds are highly intelligent and very powerful.. Deadly combination in this case possibly..
Very sad for the dpuppies and any fools who part with their money and buy one..
They have no idea how their temperament could end up..

Never mind dogs, it's not that uncommon in humans.

It's common in dog breeding circles- they call it 'line breeding'

I think that father and daughter is OK(if you're that way inclined as an owner)but mother and son can cause health problems is that right?

Both as unhealthy as each other in genetic terms. Offspring share 50% of their genes with each parent

Do we believe it was accidental ? Some people will do anything to make money. It’s gross, but hoping the puppies do not suffer.

I find the fact they are telling you all this the most surprising element of this advert.
Sadly.

It used to be common. The KC longer registers a litter from a mating that close:
From here
The offspring are the result of any mating between father and daughter, mother and son or brother and sister, save in exceptional circumstances or for scientifically proven welfare reasons and permission has been received, or

Kishkashta · 28/04/2021 21:40

It is sometimes done on purpose with purebred dogs.
Even worse, for some breeds all dogs of this breed are genetically more or less as close as mother and son due to limited number of ancestors, or so people claim.

Yep and it's why we need all them fancy DNA tests in pure beed dogs. Inbreeding is truly awful.

Have a look at the Habsburgs- that tells you all you need to know

My 2 previous dogs were rehomed via a private ad. They were brother and sister and the owner had had them since puppies. She let them stay together through the first season and of course the female got pregnant 😢🤦‍♀️ She let the pregnancy continue, 2 puppies were born, one died at birth and was given away at 8 weeks. I dread to think what problems that poor puppy grew up with. Some people are just fuckwits 🤬
