I have 2 dogs. they are both American Allaunts. they have the same dad and their moms are sisters. are these two dogs able to mate when they get old enough? because i read somewhere that they can mate if they have the same dad and nothing will be wrong

No it is not safe, as if you dont know the bad traits of all the ancestors you can double up on more bad than good genes and the results can be horrid.
see the thread below breeding in line as you are pretty much asking the same question.
Even knowing the history and considering that I have never heard of this breed, the gene pool is probally already tight enough as it is so your even more likely to get bad results from doing this. |

 It is NOT OKAY to breed any dogs that are kin and I REALLY Suggest U research ALOT before you commit to something so big, your talking about anywhere from 3-11 little puppy lives that are in YOUR hands. Breeding is a huge responsibility, and it is about time and commitment, more than what most people have. What do you know about the particular breed, or breeding for that matter? You are asking a question you should have already knew the answer to if you know anything at all about breeding.
Sorry, but an alarm went off in my head when I seen that question. |

I just googled the breed, they look like a mix of pit and american bulldog and a breed that has not been bred properly to establish a breed.
Pretty dogs but Im wary of the reasons to breed such a dog. |
