I have 3 australian shepherds 2 males one nutered and 1 female. Well The female came in heat, we actually didnt think she would come back in but she did....we keep all 3 in the house well we've been so careful to keep them seperated....OOOPs....well we turned our backs once and well you know!! The downfall...the male and the female have the same dog in there bloodlines not close but my females daddy is like a great grandfather to the male...I was told the pups could still be registered..but in my mind I'm still thinkin this is inbreeding??? the Other downfall is they are both blue merles, and if you know anything about aussies and the merle gene thats not a good thing. You risk some of the puppies havin a defect from the gene..(def, blind etc) most are put down. Those puppies have more white on them than the others and some end up solid white...Anyhows I'm just tryin to get some suggestions and to rant about it...Although I know its my fault I should of had one or the other fixed or both but I was debating on gettin into raising them....so idk
