AKC Family Pedigree Concerns
I just recently recieved my puppies pedigree documents and i saw that his parents are VERY closely related , they share the same father different mother. I know that there is inbreeding in full breeds but is it "natural" for the puppies parents be so closely related? Also further down the line his grandmother on his dad side is also his great grandmother on his mothers side. I'm a little concerned and more so curious as to what this might mean for my puppy, all seems well he doesnt at this moment seem to have any problems that may concern me. Is this a bad breeding practice, we did purchause him from a BYB. But a lot of the other dogs in this pedigree are show dogs, well at least from what i am assuming. If you can help out in the least bit it would be greatly appreciated, i am slightly lost on this situation. Thank you
