How does dog inbreeding impact health, behavior, and genetic issues?

Question

Hello, my name is Joshua and I was wondering if there are any experts on the effect of inbreeding dogs. I am doing my high school research paper on the effects on inbreeding dogs and would like to get an interview with a primary source.

Hi Joshua! The experts here on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach have a wide variety of interests and expertise, so I would search among the experts to see if they have listed genetics as an area of interest. In order to conduct an interview, however, you would have to request a consult with a particular expert. You might do better to speak to a local vet in your area to see if they know anyone who is an expert on the effects of inbreeding. In addition, if there is a veterinary school near you, you can give a call to see if there are faculty on staff who are experts in the effects of inbreeding.
