Max will likely have a normal life unless he inherited any diseases. There are companies which can test for heritable diseases such as one called Wisdom Panel. I recommend to run this test on Max. It's hard to say if his father and mother's close relation will make him less intelligent or less trainable. Max may end up being normal. Time will tell. Continue to treat him like any other puppy. Make sure he gets all his vaccines, that he is neutered between 6-9 months of age and that he eats a high quality, large breed puppy food. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
