Updated SOP Calculator Thread:

I wanted to have a post that we could BUMP when it gets moved off the first page of the Forum that has the easiest methods for calculating SOP when you have a dog born with low ShowShine.

Two of the easiest methods I've come across:

Provided by Almost Heaven:

20-SS then divide the result by 2 and add to current SOP.

Example 97.3 with SS of 18.4

20-18.4= 1.6
1.6/2 = .8
97.3 + .8 = 98.1

Same as above SOP is 50 with a SS of 19.5

20-19.5 = .5
.5/2 = .25
50 + .25 = 50.25

And the same method written slightly differently:

Provided by Drake Creek Meadows:

The easiest version of that formula:

20 - your dogs SS = number/2 = number + your dogs SOP = equals adjusted SOP

It takes 2 seconds on a calculator.

EG: SOP of 91.90 with a SS of 18.8 =
20-18.8 = 1.2 / 2 = 0.6.
0.6 + 91.90 = 92.50 %

Very helpful, thanks !

Does this apply for breed specific sop? I noticed all pups now show their generic sop, or is that breed specific sop?

I just add 0.5 to the SOP for every point the SS is under 20.

For instance, for an SS of 18.0 I would add 1 to the SOP

For an SS of 19.0 I would add 0.5 to the SOP.

It's pretty simple until you get into the 16s or 17s (although 17.0 is pretty easy, you add 1.5 to the SOP).
