Question
 an unplanned litter and a half sister half brother breeding. All pups were born large, strong and healthy. These two have no known health problems and the pups are expected to be as healthy as any of the others. Is this true?

Answer
I suspect it is true. I'm one who advocates spaying and neutering, so have not had personal experience with litters, but as I understand it, it wouldn't be a good idea to do this AGAIN, but it sounds like you got lucky and all are doing well.  It probably wouldn't have been as good an outcome had they been full-blood siblings, but that again is speculation, as only God (oops, sorry if you're offended - but I'm a believer and not ashamed of it) would truly be able to forsee an absolute outcome.

I wish you luck with your new "babies"!
