Yes you can, providing that the mother is healthy and has all the top class qualities that are desired of the breed you are wishing to IN-breed. Providing that her son has all these quallities,and is also healthy the mating should be a succes, but beware as the other people have said, if the mother is a carrier for a type of recessive disease such as retinal dysplasia, there is a 50% chance that the son will be a carrier too, so the mating could result in pups which have progressive retinal dysplasia!! If pups out of such a mating are healthy and and free of RD, and kept back out of the litter, then they should be outcrossed in your futere breeding sceme, to bring in genetic diversity, otherwise as stated above, your pups will grow weaker and mortality can set in! So beware what you do, and plan any mating carefully. Good luck.

You could but they would have the same blood and the pups might not be very healthy. If you breed at least make sure the dogs are not related and healthy. Anything under those standards at all should not be bred.

they would be inbred and some of the puppies would die and the others have a likely chance to get displasia or cancers....

I think you should be able to breed mother/son because its just the opposite of breeding father/daughter and its inbreeding or linebreeding..not interbreeding or linerbreeding..lol!!Well got to go..<3chelsea
