Can You Breed Dogs With The Same Dad But Not Out Of The Same Litter?

It's a bad idea because genetic problems are more likely to show up in the offspring, as well as subsequent generations. Genetic problems from inbreeding already plagues most pure-breeds, so if you bred together two pure-bred dogs with a common parent it's like signing up for guaranteed trouble.

Ideally dogs, like people shouldn't breed if they are more closely related than second cousins (same great-grandparents). Anything closer and you're asking for genetic problems.
