Lower contributionHigher contribution

This dog's allele profile is dominated by classic variants in the breed — the alleles it carries are well-represented in other dogs and can be considered the “classic” genetics. That's not necessarily a structural flaw or a health concern, but it does mean this dog offers a lot of what is already present elsewhere. In breeds shaped by genetic bottlenecks, dogs with more “classic” genetics tend to reflect a more typical genomic background overall — and that broader pattern is associated with higher rates of complex genetic disease across the population. This is not a diagnosis, and many of these dogs are perfectly healthy, but it is one more reason to hold them to a high standard before including them in a breeding program. If it is a high-quality dog by every other measure, breed it without worry, preferably at an older age, just to be sure it hasn't inherited an early-onset disease or syndrome commonly found in the breed. When you do breed it, breed it to a dog with at least somewhat higher OI and as unrelated as possible. Pick offspring of equal quality and higher OI. If it has any health issues, structural faults or temperament concerns, needed extra help as a newborn, or just isn't a very good example of the breed, it can be removed from the breeding program without meaningful loss to the gene pool.

Internal Relatedness (IR) -0.04 Breed avg: 0.07
More outbredMore inbred

This dog's alleles match up less than average across its genome, meaning it inherited less of the exact same genetics from both parents than most dogs in the breed. It is less inbred than average — a favorable result. Pick a mate that is relatively unrelated and pay attention to OI. This is one less thing to worry about.

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.
