How to use this informationUsing this result to help make Breeding decisionsThe current Kennel Club breeding guidelines state that, where possible, breeders should produce puppies with an inbreeding coefficient which is at, or below, the annual breed average (shown above) and ideally as low as possible.
Breeders should be aware that the inbreeding coefficient is a measurement of risk and does not guarantee that puppies produced will, or will not, have any health related issues. There are other equally important factors to also consider when deciding whether two dogs should be mated together, such as temperament, available health test results, the general health of the dogs etc. Your decision should be well balanced between the inbreeding coefficient and the good qualities of the sire/dam that you are considering.
For additional information on breeding your may wish to read our information guides which include:
What is inbreeding?Inbreeding is the mating of related individuals, whether they are closely or more distantly related. The inbreeding coefficient is the probability that two copies of the same gene have been inherited by an individual from a common founder - an ancestor shared by both parents.
Why is it important to consider inbreeding before mating?High levels of inbreeding can impact on the health of individual dogs by increasing the chances of a dog being at risk for both known and unknown inherited disorders. Over time, persistent inbreeding will also have an impact on the breed as a whole, for example, reducing litter size and fertility. It is impossible to make precise predictions about the exact impact that inbreeding has on an individual dog, but we do know that, as the degree of inbreeding increases, the risk of having a serious impact on the breed as a whole will increase.
Putting your COI result into perspectiveThe COI calculator provides you with a percentage score; the lower the percentage, the lower the degree of inbreeding.
Therefore, an inbreeding coefficient of:
How is the annual breed average calculated?This calculation is carried out each June and generates the breed average using Kennel Club registered dogs born in the UK between January and December of the previous year.
Using this data is a more effective means of monitoring yearly change than by using the average of all living dogs in that breed.
In smaller breeds, if no dogs have been born in that year, the annual breed average will default to the last year in which a calculation could be performed. In breeds where there is no available annual breed average data for the past five years, the annual breed average will display as N/A. This may include breeds where no dogs have been born in the UK for five years or more, or some newly recognised breeds.
Prior to June 2014 the breed average COI was calculated to include dogs registered in a year as well as dogs born in a year. It was decided that using dogs born in the UK was a more accurate and useful figure.
How many generations have been used to calculate this COI?All available pedigree information is used to calculate the COI. The Kennel Club does not restrict the number of generations used, as this decreases the precision of the calculation.
It is crucial to find out how many generations of pedigree information were used for the calculation you have just carried out. Please see the top right of this page under “About this calculation”.
Dogs that have been imported may only come with a three generation pedigree, therefore if the “About this calculation” section above indicates that only the first 3 generations are fully complete, you may wish to use the COI result with care. If additional pedigree information or inbreeding resources are available to you, then you may wish to consult these.

Therefore, an inbreeding coefficient of:
- 0% indicates a dog that comes from two unrelated parents, based on all available pedigree information
- 12.5% would equate to the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a grandfather to granddaughter mating
- 25% would equate to the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a father to daughter mating.
