This dog's allele profile is dominated by classic variants in the breed — the alleles it carries are well-represented in other dogs and can be considered the “classic” genetics. That's not necessarily a structural flaw or a health concern, but it does mean this dog offers a lot of what is already present elsewhere. In breeds shaped by genetic bottlenecks, dogs with more “classic” genetics tend to reflect a more typical genomic background overall — and that broader pattern is associated with higher rates of complex genetic disease across the population. This is not a diagnosis, and many of these dogs are perfectly healthy, but it is one more reason to hold them to a high standard before including them in a breeding program. If it is a high-quality dog by every other measure, breed it without worry, preferably at an older age, just to be sure it hasn't inherited an early-onset disease or syndrome commonly found in the breed. When you do breed it, breed it to a dog with at least somewhat higher OI and as unrelated as possible. Pick offspring of equal quality and higher OI. If it has any health issues, structural faults or temperament concerns, needed extra help as a newborn, or just isn't a very good example of the breed, it can be removed from the breeding program without meaningful loss to the gene pool.

Internal Relatedness (IR) 0.14 Breed avg: 0.00
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.
