“COI Explained: What Every Dog Breeder Needs to Know”

Episode Description Most breeders throw around terms like linebreeding and inbreeding — but very few actually understand what COI really means. In this episode of Outside the Kennel Podcast, Ben Hood and Ta’Rodrick Brooks break down Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI) in a way that actually makes sense. We’re talking real numbers, real scenarios, and what happens when you stack the same blood too tight. From parent-to-offspring breedings to tighter linebreeding strategies, we get into how COI impacts health, structure, temperament, and long-term program success. If you’re breeding dogs and not paying attention to COI, you’re rolling the dice — and eventually, it catches up. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just the real game behind the genetics. No gatekeeping. Just the real game. Outside the Kennel Podcast.
