[quote=Anonymous]Not OP but recently read about a study finding a high level of inbreeding in dogs. More here: https://gizmodo.com/most-dog-breeds-are-super-inbred-study-finds-1848158540/amp. Essentially they used a “genetic database made up of results from commercial DNA tests of nearly 50,000 dogs, encompassing 227 breeds in total. Then they analyzed the average genetic similarity of dogs within a breed in order to estimate their level of inbreeding on a percentage scale from 1 to 100. To further check their math, they compared their results to data from past studies that studied smaller groups of breeds.” And found “that the average level of inbreeding within these breeds was around 25%, or about the amount of genetic similarity you would see between two siblings.” [/quote]
