What happens when COI is high, because of the lack of dogs, and inbreeding happens? Anything, other than shorter life spans?

Nothing happens until you get over 15%. After 15% the higher it goes, the worse the offspring. Pups under 20% can still sometimes be useful, although not great. As it climbs even the higher, the dogs get worse, and worse stats |

Ugh. Thank you. I was worried I would need to bring in new blood. |

Personally I try to avoid over 13.13% it just bothers me, but if your breed has very little gene pool, it won't hurt! |

Leotyde has been helping us find different studs, so I'm going to hold off on bringing new blood in ... I bought 4 to do two lines, but I FH'd them ... Want to focus on my Gordons, for the source breeding. Even with that, I'm not doing strict source to source ... Doing source to show quality.  |
