Most likely yes, but if you allow inbreeding later on down the line there may be genetic deformities. It should be discouraged, as to keep the gene pool wide and deep.

This should be avoided, I agree. I have a dog who is a result of an accidental breeding of mother to son, and he appears to have vision problems, as well as issues with aggression to other dogs and his intelligence level. This is only one botched breeding. With repeated breedings of closely related dogs, who knows how bad the dog might be?

Yes sibling dogs can mate but dogs in the same family breeding can lead to deformation of the puppies and lots of health problems for them.

They mate like any other puppy do. The babies will usually get the colour of the parents.

Mating brothers and sister increases the chances of genetic diseases in the pups. Which diseases depends on the breed of animal and the family line. By breeding with unrelated animals you improve the chances of getting healthy offspring.
