Post date: Dec 30, 2016 12:24:56 PM

The KC has updated its Breed Average CoI values for each of the Dachshund varieties. The table below shows the data since first published by the KC in May 2011:

The higher the CoI, the greater the probability (and risk) that two copies of a particular gene will be inherited from a common ancestor. Read about our analysis of CoI and Lafora Disease here.

The KC will no longer register puppies from mother/son, father/daughter or brother/sister combinations - these would have a CoI of at least 25%. Read about the value of CoI.
