The two main negative consequences of inbreeding are <b>an increased risk of undesirable genes and a reduction in genetic diversity. The House of Habsburg may be the best example of the effects of inbreeding in humans.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_sister_and_brother_mate\"><\/span>Can a sister and brother mate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Inbreeding occurs when a brother and sister dog mate and have puppies. Technically speaking, dogs can mate with any other closely related genetic family member.

As a result, puppies from the same litter may actually have different fathers. As you might expect, the genetic variation among puppies with different fathers is greater than that of those who share the same father.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_brother_and_sister_dogs_mate_from_same_litter\"><\/span>Can brother and sister dogs mate from same litter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reasoning behind the <b>unsafety of breeding a brother and sister dog together is mainly because of the long-term risks and complications behind inbred litters.
