What do the dog statistics on a Vault record mean?

Open a dog’s Pedigree Vault record and follow its dog-statistics link to see the information available for that dog.

The report counts linked offspring records and summarizes recorded sex, color and mates. Inferred litters group offspring with the same sire, dam and birth date; they are not a confirmed litter registry or a complete count of puppies born.

Missing records or dates can affect the results. Read How to read these numbers on the statistics page before comparing dogs. Pedigree completeness also matters when interpreting the reported coefficient of inbreeding (COI).
