What a great step forward!

An inbreeding coefficient of 12.5% means that there is a 1 in 8 chance that a dog will inherit the same version of gene from the same dog that appears in both the sire’s and dam’s pedigree. For example, the puppies born to a mother/son, father/daughter or brother/sister mating would be at least 25%; the risk associated with such a high inbreeding coefficient is considered too high and the KC will no longer register the puppies from such matings. The inbreeding coefficient of puppies born from a grandfather/granddaughter mating would be at least 12.5%.

...it's already been shown that the KCs calculations are incorrect, they are often lower than a true calculation, so dogs with a higher COI according to their figures can and would be registered!

But direct matings will not. Thats the step forward. There is only so much info you can go on, and with calculations spanning many generations, with some breeds it would be nigh on impossible to get a v low COI. Stopping close direct matings is a massive step. But of course there will always be those quick to knock anything the KC do.
