Breed Context
Outlier Index (OI) 0.32 Breed avg: 0.26
Lower contributionHigher contribution

This dog carries more mid-frequency and less-common alleles than most dogs in its breed. That makes it offer a meaningful genetic contribution to the breed, as long as it's robustly healthy and has decent function and temperament. It might have some aesthetic faults that can be improved in the next generation without losing the less common genetics it does carry. All else being equal, this dog is worth keeping in a breeding program. It is best paired with mates of relatively similar OI that are also relatively genetically unrelated. A mate that is of equal or better quality in health and structure, but complementary, will maintain the less common genetics and improve breed type.

Internal Relatedness (IR) 0.24 Breed avg: 0.04
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.
