About this breeding

• Embark’s Pair Predictor tool puts this litter at DNA 20% COI. Each puppy can be within 3 points of this prediction.
• DNA tested inbreeding of most pure-bred dogs is usually far higher than the dog’s pedigree 12 generation calculations. For instance, the mother of this litter, Pickles, is 5.13% COI on a 12 generation pedigree, yet in reality her Embark DNA tested COI is 17%. Check out the data on this in our article on DNA vs Pedigree on our own dogs. 
• A DNA tested 35% COI American show line dog can pair with a 35% COI American hunting line dog and the offspring’s COI can drop to 10-20%

• American Hunting dogs are commonly 10-25% COI
