I owned a German Shepherd Dog who was the result of a Brother/Sister mating. This was not deliberate but an unfortunate incident for the Breeders who had all Champion Show Dogs. They made sure we knew and understood the history, and the condition of sale was limited register and spaying.

The Good was - An exceedingly handsome dog who had inherited exceptional build and looks.

The Very Bad was - She had a highly nervous temperament and was quite timid to the point of losing control of her bowels in certain situations. The Vet said this excessive nervousness was most likely due to the inbreeding. I do not know if this is correct.

Otherwise she was fine, but we were always watchful of her with other people and warn them not to tease her as a nervous GSD is not a good thing, and if cornered or feel they are being threatened will react violently due to fear.
