One major example of Inbreeding was the royal European families in the middle ages. There was so little genetic diversity between these royal people. In the cases where inbreeding occurs, certain traits are found that may not be beneficial to the offspring. The same is seen in purebred dogs, where traits that are desirable are bred for. The results can be problems for the pups. Pugs do not look like wolves at all.
