Will a dog recognize its father?
Studies show dogs can recognize their parents and siblings, but whether that recognition is based on scent or some other factor is still not known for certain.

Can a father and daughter dog breed together?
As mentioned, a father and daughter inbreeding coefficient is extremely close, resulting in higher probabilities of negative consequences to subsequent offspring. The risks need to be contemplated before deciding on mating two closely related dogs.
What happens when two dogs born in the same litter mate?
When siblings mate, new genetic defects may present in their offspring. When two dogs born in the same litter mate, the likelihood that their offspring will have the same traits they have.
How is the relation between father and daughter dogs determined?
This is classified as an inbreeding coefficient. A 0% coefficient would indicate no relation, 12.5% would indicate an average relation, and a 25.5% would indicate a very close relationship as we see with father and daughter inbreeding. There are methods in which a breeder can calculate this number more readily as shown by The Kennel Club.

What happens when a mother dog breeds with the son?
A mother dog with a particularly unusual coat color may give birth to puppies that are the same color. By breeding the mother to one of her sons the next time, another family can be established that has the same color. This sets the stage for line breeding of the best specimens, once more dogs with the same color are available with which to breed.
