Good question!

I will watch for someone with more experience to answer it!

if you are trying to improve a bloodline, and he has goos traits, you an keep him for breeding again, get rid of him if any of his offspring have defects. It's up to you, and also your breeding needs.

so its ok to breed the roo back to the offsprings?

This has benn discussed many times here. Do a search for line breeding. Short answer, yes it's ok to breed your male back on his offspring.
