A repeat breeding, known as 'Wurfwiederholung', is the practice of mating the same mother and father for multiple litters. It is not a disease or a genetic defect, but rather a breeding management decision. While it can produce predictable offspring, repeatedly using the same parental pair can limit the overall genetic diversity within a breed's gene pool.
Because this is a breeding practice and not a medical condition, there are no physical symptoms or age of onset for the individual dog. Offspring from repeated matings simply share the same parental genetics, which can sometimes consolidate specific hereditary traits within that bloodline.
No medical treatment or intervention is required as this is not a health condition. There are no associated veterinary costs, resulting in a cost range of 0 EUR.
