What are the potential issues with the pups being inbred. I know the issues with people by looking at @OhioWhiteTails but what is it in dogs? The same?

Just a greater chance of passing along their recessive traits. Nothing like down syndrome in humans though. It's hips, eyes, etc. They're going to be cute, good dogs and certainly not the first set of inbred puppies ever born and given away.
Who nose, Im just an asshole.WTF did i do to you!?
My last Lab was amish, his father was his grand father, didn't find out till I got the papers. H was little up tight, but a good, smart dog other wise.
JIM IS SPOT ON. The big issue IMHO is that if you give these pups away, would be the people that would be taking a free Lab. Will they be responsible enough to get them fixed so the inbred issue stops with the pups? Different situation, but we have the people that buy our Miniature Schnauzer puppies sign a contract that they are not to be bred. It won't stop them from breeding, but they won't be able to register the pups unless they forge papers also. Line breeding dogs can be a very good thing, if done correctly, but inbred and as close as your pups would be? I would most likely follow Jim's train of thought, but not the method...
Even if they were papered and I gave them away, nothing guarantees those pups wouldn't produce mixed breed or mutt litters, so I don't think I own that burden. I'll be honest about their lineage and what people do with that is on them. I can charge $1,000 and if someone is dumb enough to pay that, they could still breed and sell "papered" dogs if they wanted.
Easy fix, $200 deposits...$170 returned with fixed proof within 6 months.

I'm glad your having the pups... As for selling them I'd be against that... Put the shoe on the other foot of you were buying one from someone else... You probably wouldn't like it... I'm sure put them up for adoption on TOO and they will go to good homes...
I'd guess them at 90% or better lab. She's all lab in appearance and behavior, great natural drive and instinct. He has some other big breed in him like St. Bernard.
Sure, if someone isn't honest with me. If you know all the details and willingly take one, how am I in the wrong? Open, free market transaction.

Unless they are papered dogs most people have no idea what they are getting or perhaps what breed might even be mixed in. By being honest from the get-go there is no reason anyone would get upset on what they are getting. You could also only give to people that you know would have them spayed/neutered, or at least promise to do it.

I agree... As long as the situation is explained and nothing goes untold, there is nothing wrong with selling them...

Breeders do spay neuter contracts on pet quality dogs all the time for many reasons. Like giles said have them pay a deposit and refund it when they provide a altered certificate from the vet.

Moose seems to like chewing on antlers. But I guess they all do... He is still to afraid to go down the steps himself so stands at the top of them and whines till I take him down so he can snoop around them. He does not quite know what to make of the heads.
How’d you get him to stick to the ceiling and walls? I’d hate cleaning the mud prints off that! Gooooooood luck, have fun.
