COI as measured genetically by Embark shows that while pedigree Canaan dogs overall are still somewhat better than that for all breeds, village dogs left to choose their own partners have much less in breeding. In pedigree dogs there may well be measurably more inbreeding in dogs from particular breeders who like to create their own "line" of dogs. An inbreeding coefficient of 0 indicates a dog that comes from two unrelated parents; 6.25 is equivalent to mating of first cousins; 12.5 equates to the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a grandfather to granddaughter mating; 25 would equate to the genetic equivalent of a dog produced from a father to daughter mating. Data and graphs from Embark.
