Dog Genetics 4.2: Pedigree based Inbreeding Coefficients of dog breeds as calculated and provided by The Kennel Club, for 2019
Inbreeding coefficients (COI) represent a relative estimation of genetic risk, and in particular of unknown risk, and are useful when making decisions about mating. Average inbreed coefficients for a number of dog breeds are provided, based on COI calculations made by The Kennel Club using the pedigrees of individual puppies registered by The Kennel Club in 2019. These numbers are valid for breeds within the United Kingdom during the year indicated.
