That uncle x niece cross with Rambo added should be make some great pups!
There are many books on animal husbandry. Animal genetics are not the same as human genetics. Line-breeding, in-breeding and family breeding are all excellent ways to lock down desired traits of the bloodline.
If you like the traits of that line then an uncle x niece cross would be great. It's not too close, it's actually one of the best line bred crosses you can make.
Some of my best crosses have been uncle x niece but my favorite crosses are double first cousins.
Many animals do this naturally in the wild. Vary rarely are outside bloodlines introduced to colonies. Think about it, a pack of coyotes can only contain so many unrelated dogs. Where would the new blood come from? Another state or country? To some extent they will all have a common ancestor. They don't know or care who their relatives are, all that matters is alpha. The alpha male will breed most females and then most pups will be related. When he's done, who is going to take his place? Likely one of his sons, who will now breed all his half sisters, cousins, nieces, etc. This repeats with each new alpha and allows very little opportunity for outside blood to be introduced.
Good luck with your pups, I imagine you will get some nice ones.
