COI, the coefficient of inbreeding, is often promoted as the ultimate marker of a healthy litter. But does a low percentage really prove anything?

In this episode, I unpack what COI actually measures, where it can mislead, and why one number can never replace genuine breed knowledge.

In this episode, we consider:

  • What COI truly calculates and why generation depth matters
  • Why a low percentage does not automatically equal a healthier puppy
  • How to recognise when COI is being used as a superficial sales point rather than informed breeding practice
