Value for the breed's diversity
Average pedigree — rarer than 41% of the Shiba born in the last 15 years (since 2012)

Common ancestors and how they connect 4
Over 5 generations: each ancestor found on both the sire's and the dam's side, and what it adds to the COI.

How these figures are calculated
COI — Wright's formula: F = Σ (½)n₁+n₂+1 × (1 + FA), summed over every path through a common ancestor A. The number of generations must be fixed for two dogs to be comparable: a more complete pedigree mechanically raises the figure.
AVK — distinct ancestors divided by the theoretical number of ancestors. Over 5 generations there are 62 possible slots. 100% means no ancestor appears twice.
Completeness — the share of slots actually filled in. The AVK is misleading without it: a half-empty pedigree shows a low AVK even with no inbreeding at all, simply because data is missing.
