Yes but you may not want to. That is called "in-breeding". mating too closely in the same family ultimately brings out bad traits geneticaly in most animals.( mothers w/ sons, fathers/ duaghters,brothers/ sisters) It is why it is frowned upon to marry any closer than a second cousin. Genetics tend to favor "bad" gene/traits over good ones. So two animals w/ closley related gene pools (for example) may have a trait for cleft pallet(deformation of the mouth). Even though niegther parent has a cleft pallet. Mating those two would tend to bear young w/ a cleft pallet. Where as if bread w/ another parent w/o the cleft pallet gene, the chances are a healthy young is born. It can lead to a whole host of bad things, including; nuerological / physical defects.
