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) 0.27 Breed avg: 0.07
More outbredMore inbred

This dog's own genome shows that it has inherited substantially more of the exact same DNA from both parents than is typical for the breed, meaning it has many common ancestors on both sides of its pedigree, even if you don't see them in the last five or ten generations. It is a highly meaningful inbreeding signal, and increases the risk that unknown simple recessive diseases, or complex genetic diseases with recessive components, will appear in this dog. That's a risk assessment, not a diagnosis — it could be perfectly healthy. High IR does not automatically disqualify it from breeding, and high IR can coexist with high OI in dogs from rare or consolidated lines. But health testing, waiting to breed at a later age than usual, and mate selection are all very important. Prioritize a mate as unrelated as possible and of roughly equal or higher OI — lowering IR in the puppies is straightforward once the mate is unrelated.

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.
