Made with Xara

Oakwood is not a high volume or

commercial kennel.

I work to produce superior German

Pinschers in a small home raised breeding

program with a high level of puppy

socialization and the best of everything.

I produce one or two exceptional litters each

year and many of my pups go to repeat

buyers.

Explanation on Inbreeding Coefficients: The inbreeding coefficient (COI) shows how diverse the pedigree is with different ancestors and calculates the percentage of inbreeding based on how many times the same ancestors are found in a pedigree. The Ancestor Loss Coefficient (AVK) is the amount of genetics lost within the gene pool by doing a particular breeding combination. The Ancestor Loss Coefficient should be as close as possible to 100% and Inbreeding Coefficient being as close as possible to 0%. Genetics experts recommend a COI no higher than 6% in six generations with a recommendation of under 3% in six generations being ideal to maintain diversity. Follow this link to the Global GP Database where you can look at parents and puppy’s pedigree to assess the level of inbreeding as well as health testing. Please underatand that all health information is provided by the owners/breeders and should be independently verified. Example: Tempest’s litter with Micky- Amigo von Cronestein is 0.99% COI in 6 generations with an AVK of 88.1%. Kerin’s litter with Crush is 1.07% COI and 86.52% AVK in six generations. I have bred several generations of outcrossed pedigrees and I have maintained excellent structure, type, health, temperament and movement. Contrary to breeders popular belief that “line breeding/inbreeding” are the only methods to maintain quality and type, here at Oakwood we have proven that excellence and maximizing genetic diversity can both be maintained. Our beautiful, heathy and sound dogs, both in mind and body, are being produced without putting puppies or the gene pool at greater risk for genetic health and temperament problems due to inbreeding or linebreeding.
