The Small Munsterlander is a numerically small, purpose-bred versatile hunting dog. Like many low-population working breeds, thoughtful breeding decisions are essential to preserving health, function, and longevity. One of the most frequently referenced — and often misunderstood — tools in these discussions is the Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI).
