Does the AKC recognize them when they're bred that close?

Sure, but it not just dogs. My Dad raised pigeons and bantam chickens. Breeding father to daughter and son to mother is pretty routine...you just kill the undesirable offspring, which is what some cultures have done with undesirable human offspring as well. Ever hear of a "squab knife"? (Used not just for killing the culls, but also because some twisted people actually like to eat squab.(baby pidgeon)) Often the culls were allowed to grow to conventional eating size. Dad would donate them, both pidgeons and chickens, to needy senior citizens in the area. They were quite glad to get them.

Whoa, El Gato, dog breeding is a lot more complicated than that. And breeding too close in family circles can produce some horrible consequences. (But I realize you didn't have time to go into it in an FR post...)
