Is inbreeding a real problem?

Yes, unfortunately a lot of people do not get their pets fixed and pets go into their heat cycles before you know it and accidents happen. Dogs do not know the concept so they mate regardless. It can lead to developmental problems and medical problems along with undesirable characteristics in a breed
