Yes, they can be twins just like in humans. However, the usual situation is for several pups to be born in the same litter, so most dogs are like fraternal twins or multiple births.

What is interbreeding?

from what i have been told, interbreeding is where for eg 2 dogs from the same family ie, brother and sister are put together to breed.


Can you breed 2 dogs from the same father?

It wouldn't be smart because if the have the same father( brother and sister) they would be more likely to have mutations or serious health problems. Like when you breed brother and sister cats they have double paws. I would ask a vet or animal specialest. That would be your best bet.

Can you breed dogs from same parents but different litters?

No, because although they are not from the same litter, they are still the same genetically... if you were to breed 2 dogs from the same parents there would be a high risk of genetic defects and/or behavioural problems in the puppies producedThey are still full blooded brother and sister. Think about it. If you have a sister or brother, it is from a different breeding with the same Mom & Dad and you are still full brothers and sisters.I don't think you would want to do that close of breeding, called inbreeding and is not for the best in the breed.2 dogs that have the same biological parents should not be bred together. Some breeders call this "line-breeding" to get the same looks as the parents but at the cost of the puppies health. It is incest and can be physically and mentally damaging to the future puppies. The smaller the gene pool is the more likely undesirable recessive traits are bound to come together. If 2 dogs both carry the recessive trait for blindness or albinism and you breed them 1 in 4 puppies are likely to be blind or be albino. Accidents happen but it is urged that you not interbreed.

Nothing happens they breed so what they do not know the difference between a brother or a sister it is just another dog.A strong possibility:Litters born to brother & sister dogs have a much higher probability of experiencing (possibly fatal) birth defects.
