Morbidity by inbreeding levels. Morbidity values as VCE/10,000 dog years at risk (95% confidence intervals and mean are shown) plotted by mean Fadj within each breed in relevant categories. There were 11 breeds with Fadj < 0.125; mean morbidity for those breeds was 1282 (95% CI 1173–1391). For Fadj between 0.125 and 0.25, there were 66 breeds with a mean of 1537 (95% CI 1468–1606), and for Fadj over 0.25 there were 85 breeds with a mean of 1626 (95% CI 1562–1690). Significant differences for morbidity were identified between the three categories of Fadj using Kruskal-Wallis test (P = 0.0003). The relative risk morbidity compared to mixed breed dogs (F = 0 in dataset 1 and Fadj = 0.037 in dataset 2) for low inbred dogs was 1.01, meaning that they have a 1% increase in veterinary care events compared to mixed breed dogs. Breeds with inbreeding between 0.126 and 0.25 had a relative risk of 1.22 i.e. a 22% increase in veterinary care events while breeds with inbreeding over 0.25 had a relative risk of 1.29 i.e. a 29% increase in veterinary care events compared to mixed breed dogs
