Breed Context
Outlier Index (OI) 0.17 Breed avg: 0.22
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) -0.10 Breed avg: -0.02
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.
