From: The effect of inbreeding, body size and morphology on health in dog breeds
Morbidity as a function of body weight and inbreeding. Morbidity in number of veterinary care events /10,000 dog years at risk for breeds plotted by mid-range body weight. Regression lines are shown for different levels of inbreeding as indicated. As an example, the morbidity values for a 30 kg dog at no inbreeding (Fadj = 0) are predicted to be 1534.5 (SE 36.75) compared to high inbreeding (Fadj = 0.40) 1688 (SE 24.47) which is a 10% increase in veterinary care events. The morbidity value for a 5 kg dog at F = 0.25 is 1396.9 (SE 18.88) and for a 60 kg dog it is 1911.8 (SE 38.67), which is a 37% increase in veterinary care events
