Breed Context
Outlier Index (OI) 0.22 Breed avg: 0.22
Lower contributionHigher contribution

This dog carries an allele profile close to the breed average β€” neither notably typical nor unusual. Breed it based on health, structure, temperament, and try to find a mate with an equal or somewhat higher OI and as unrelated as possible. If you choose to breed it, pick offspring of equal quality and higher OI.

Internal Relatedness (IR) 0.04 Breed avg: -0.02
More outbredMore inbred

This dog inherited more of the exact same DNA from each parent than is typical for the breed β€” a clear sign of inbreeding in its ancestry. This means it is more likely to have inherited any unknown or untested simple recessive diseases and traits, so do your testing if you didn't get clearances from its parents. If this dog has a lower OI, but is high quality, breed it, but only to an unrelated dog with equal or better health, temperament and breed type when possible. Pick puppies for your breeding program with high OI and lower IR than this dog's, and ones of equal or better quality. If this dog has a high OI, its inbreeding may actually work in the breed's favor β€” a more homozygous dog transmits its unusual alleles more consistently to every puppy it produces, meaning its less common genetics are less likely to be diluted in the next generation.

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.
