NI's Why Not? Discussions

what does coi stand for??

coefficient of inbreeding.

Google is our friend ....
Intresting reads ..

Not a website I would listen to for Mals! Nothing beats meeting the dogs and people with them!

I have an easy life with mine, they will go for hours or veg in front of the telly! Cruiser has never chewed a thing so the destructive part can be taken with a pinch of salt

And to add.... In 1999 I met a man who told me Mals were not good with kids! I decided not to get one due to this and ended up with a Samoyed (god rest his lovely soul) and always felt kind of cheated. Although Seiko was an amazing dog i still always wanted a Malamute. Went and met people with them and discovered they were fab with my kids!! But that was 4 yrs later.

says it all..when compared to an NI`s COI doesn`t it... and mine were both by far not the highest.

The only ones I had met were the Crufts ones. I also remember their fabulous coats, so so soft. I am glad you got your dream dog xxxxxxxx

Whats the programme?

Its called Kintraks.

Thanks

There is an online COI calculator here, which can calculate as many generations as you have data for:

Thanks MM, I will have a good look at that later on when I get the time

Used the calculator MM, got inbreeding of 7.03% and ancestor loss of 90% not sure where the rest went?

How strange! Missing dogglets??

its a great link and kept me out of trouble all afternoon! Only have 3 gens on me but had a play. I do love looking at pedigrees but sometimes it makes me sad. Like a springer i know where a FTC was very over used.

I did it over 4 gens but I have to look out his 5 gen and do it and also can go further back (looked at it all before..) as they are easy to find online.... see if that makes a difference..

Kalasin have you seen any . Did you see anyof these health reports? It's one thing to take a risk and go buy a pup but it's another for a breeder to take a gamble when they've had results that are not good as they should at least let the puppy buyers make the decisions given the results! We (I speak as a cat breeder here or x cat breeder) have a duty to the buyers and our cats, kittens pups and Dams etc to do the right thing and if it isn't the result we want we simply love our cats/dogs for what theya re and remove them from a breeding programme! Simple and save a lot of heartache in the long run! xxx

Im told this breeder has 4 litters planned next year. Talk about breeding puppies for mass production and puppy sales, what an utter disgrace! I cannot understand how anyone could be in support of anyone like that.

WHAT !! Just goes to show how - as you rightly say - you need to go see them, and form your own opinion.

Amazing how the OP never made another appearance.

[I have no idea but I do know when you get BAD RESULTS regarding your Dam's or Sire's you neuter rather than pass this onto other people! For all I know this breeder did give the buyers a choice informed on the results of the VWD results??? Somehow I doubt it and that is what gets to me!!! No matter wqqho well fed and socialised hey are bad test results are simply that! The truth always outs!! Better to be truthful than a liar be............................................................????
