Breed Context
Outlier Index (OI) 0.26 Breed avg: 0.33
Lower contributionHigher contribution

This dog's allele profile skews toward the more classic end of the breed's frequency distribution. Its genetics are reasonably well-represented in the population. It can contribute to a breeding program, but pairing it with a higher-OI mate that is also as unrelated as possible would be a sensible way to strengthen the diversity of the resulting litter, thereby contributing to your program and the breed. As with all dogs carrying predominantly classic genetics, the breed's accumulated health history is one more reason to confirm good health before breeding. It is not a priority for retention on diversity grounds alone, but if it is a good example of the breed and remains healthy, it can produce puppies that improve on its contribution when selected for higher OI, as well as being of equal or better quality in terms of breed type and function. If you choose to breed it, pick offspring of equal quality and higher OI.

Internal Relatedness (IR) 0.09 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 — 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 — 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.

Enya's temperament and structure are vey much like a schnauzer. She is highly intelligent and learns faster than any BRT we have had in the past, she is very vocal, quick to react, extremely agile, and she is thin and lanky. Despite her extremely good health test results and her obviously quick intellect, we have elected to spay her primarily due to the excessive graying on the front of her legs and beard at only 4 years of age as of 2018.

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.
