Inbreeding?

Just wondering why in breeding is ok with leos? Do they not have genetic problems from this? Like dogs or cats would from mating with their parents? Or does it have to happen more than once for there to be problems?

Just curious as I'm not a breeder

Thanks

you can inbreed the first and second generation of offspring with little or no problems bet the third generation and so on is where you get alot of problems like defects.If you couldnt then we wouldnt have most of the morphs we have today.
