Inbreeding - brother to sister?

So it's a fact that inbreeding has caused issues in everything from dogs to people when it happens too much.

It's also a known fact that it is riskier to breed siblings together rather than daughter to father or son to mother.

My Q is, who here has bred (any species) siblings together, and what happened with any animals produced? I have to imagine this happens a bit when people are attempting to produce double recessives.

Fine, various rare leachianus locality geckos and chinese alligators, as reptilian examples of inbreeding causing problems
