Question
can you really breed a father with a daughter in poms? this is her first breed and they are both blue poms. will her litter be smaller? and will we be garuanteed blue pups as for say what her mother looked like(party)?

Answer
Kathy,
yes you can if the backgrounds are not too interbred.  It is done all the time in nature.   You must check her pedigree and see if there are similar line breeding in their backgrounds.  If there are a lot of them, don't do it.
Remember, though, you are doubling up on the bad genes as well as the good genes
