Coefficient of Inbreeding?
« on: April 21, 2014, 08:52:36 PM »
Hi.   I used the KC's mate select thingy to look at the parents of the puppies we are going to look at and it said the Coefficient of inbreeding for sire and dam was 15% when cockers average is around 9%. Is this a problem?  I also found the mother hasn't got a recorded BVA/KC eye test although she is clear for the PRCD-PRA check and he is clear for glaucoma and eye disease.  Any advice?  Finding a puppy with all the health tests seems quite difficult. I'm not sure whether I'm being paranoid or sensible.

Thanks in advance for any easy to follow advice
