This dog's allele profile tells us its genetics are quite unusual for the breed. It carries a high proportion of mid-frequency and less-common alleles — exactly the type of genetic material that is most at risk of being lost from a closed population and most worth preserving across generations. This is a dog that should remain in the breeding program as long as health and temperament support it. Minor structural imperfections are a reasonable trade-off: improving conformation is possible over generations, but recovering lost allelic diversity in a closed studbook is not. Look for mates with equally high OI, preferably unrelated ones, but in this case if your only options are more related dogs, it is better to linebreed than to lower the OI. Pick puppies with equal or higher OI that are better quality in breed type. Don't breed a high OI dog at all if it is unhealthy or has a bad or dangerous temperament.

Internal Relatedness (IR) -0.11 Breed avg: -0.15
More outbredMore inbred

The amount of the same DNA inherited from each parent within this dog's own genome is close to the breed norm. Neither a concern nor a standout result. In breeds where the population average IR is already low, an average score here is a solid result. Focus on OI and complementary breed type quality in a mate.

OI and IR are genetic diversity metrics intended to inform breeding decisions at the population level. They do not diagnose disease, predict individual health outcomes, or substitute for breed-required health testing or veterinary guidance. Conformation, temperament, longevity, and health history all belong in this decision.

The two moments breeders have influence on their breed's future are when choosing a mate, and choosing a keeper puppy. Both deserve full genetic information.
