Many people have this idea in mind when raising dogs, and then they want to breed the dogs and give birth to a litter of cute puppies. But I don’t know much about dog production, so do you know that dogs from the same litter can be bred? Today, the editor will briefly explain it to everyone.

Dogs from the same litter can be bred, but it is usually not recommended, because dogs bred from inbreeding will have a much higher chance of getting genetic diseases, and the dog's resistance will be relatively poor, and the probability of causing diseases is much greater than that of dogs bred from different litters. Some congenital diseases are more difficult to treat, and the owners have to worry more.

Dogs in estrus do not have the moral concept of brothers and sisters, so they will be bred normally. If you do not want dogs from the same litter to be bred, you can neuter them early, or put the female dog in physiological pants when the dog is in estrus. Some research reports have pointed out that inbreeding will affect the energy degradation of offspring, or the enhancement of certain genetic disadvantages, thus causing harm to dog breeds.
