Genetic COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding)

One of the other interesting things to have come out of the health testing results is the Genetic COI produced by Embark which gives a more accurate representation of actual COI than the KC’s calculation based on pedigrees does. It has shown quite a variation in the accuracy of the KC version with some dogs testing much higher and some testing lower.
In a numerically small breed like our German Spitz here in the UK, it may prove to be a useful tool in helping to maintain genetic diversity.
