By decade of birth

· 18 rows

The chart carries the whole corpus — 301 013 dogs. 276 922 dogs are placed by decade of birth, and another 24 091 dogs are gathered in a column of their own, “Year not recorded”, at the right past the span: 276 922 + 24 091 = 301 013. The horizontal axis carries all 18 decades, from the 1850s to the 2020s. A decade with no dog in it keeps its place on the scale. Here that is 1 decade. Every column carries its own number above it: next to the tallest the shortest are not visible, and a decade holding one dog differs from a decade holding none by that number, not by its height. The columns the shared scale cannot show are drawn again in magnified strips below it — at the same places on the axis, each stating its own upper bound: 1850s — 1, 1870s — 1, 1880s — 40, 1890s — 138, 1900s — 290, 1910s — 236.

Dogs and bitches by year of birth

· 148 rows

The chart carries 276 922 dogs — every dog whose year of birth is recorded. Another 24 091 dogs have no year of birth: there is no place for them on a year axis, and they are gathered in the “Year not recorded” row of the table below — 276 922 + 24 091 = 301 013. The horizontal axis carries all 170 calendar years from 1857 to 2026. A year with no dog in it keeps its place on the scale: there are 23 of those here. A series indistinguishable from zero at the shared scale is drawn again in a strip of its own, with its own upper bound: Sex not recorded — 9. Its line is real, not empty.

Years in the table: 147 of 170, spanning 1857–2026. A year with no dog in the corpus gets no row. 24 091 dogs have no date of birth and fall into no year: they are gathered in the “Year not recorded” row, and with it the table reconciles with the number of dogs in the corpus. A year named approximately (“circa 1993”) stands in the 1993 column — the same reading sorting and filtering give it. Records with an approximate year of birth here: 0.

Colours by year of birth

· 148 rows

The chart carries 276 922 dogs — every dog whose year of birth is recorded. Another 24 091 dogs have no year of birth: there is no place for them on a year axis, and they are gathered in the “Year not recorded” row of the table below — 276 922 + 24 091 = 301 013. The horizontal axis carries all 170 calendar years from 1857 to 2026. A year with no dog in it keeps its place on the scale: there are 23 of those here. A series indistinguishable from zero at the shared scale is drawn again in a strip of its own, with its own upper bound: Lemon — 177. Its line is real, not empty. The lines carry their own colour. Lemon is darkened: true lemon is invisible on a white ground.

A dog may have more than one colour recorded; in this table it is counted once, under its primary colour.

Distribution of the coefficient of inbreeding

· 8 rows

The whole corpus is on the chart — 301 013 dogs: 34 198 dogs whose coefficient is exactly 0 and 266 815 dogs above zero, 34 198 + 266 815 = 301 013. “Exactly 0” is not the lowest band but a different statement: not one common ancestor anywhere in the recorded pedigree. So its column stands to the left of a break and on ground of its own, and it takes a row of its own in the table. The smallest coefficient above zero in this corpus prints as < 0.01% — it does not look like a nought, and it must not. The highest coefficient in this corpus is 71.39%. Every column carries its own number above it: next to the tallest the shortest are not visible, and a band holding one dog differs from an empty one by that number, not by its height. The columns the shared scale cannot show are drawn again in magnified strips below it — at the same places on the axis, each stating its own upper bound: 50% and above — 33.

Exactly 0	34 198
below 1.5625%	7 515
1.5625–3.125%	13 597
3.125–6.25%	53 075
6.25–12.5%	128 505
12.5–25%	56 748
25–50%	7 342
50% and above	33
Total	301 013

The band edges are powers of one half, which is what a coefficient is summed from, and each of them names a mating. 6.25% is what first cousins give, 12.5% half-siblings, an uncle with a niece or a grandsire with a granddaughter, 25% full siblings or a parent with its own offspring, and 50% that mating repeated generation after generation. 1 179 dogs sit exactly on an edge, and next to nobody sits on a round percentage — which is why the edges are these. An edge reads this way: a dog whose coefficient is exactly 25% goes into the band that BEGINS at 25%, not into the one that ends there. Computed over the whole pedigree, with no generation limit. Other databases usually quote a coefficient over N generations — that is a different number and the two are not directly comparable.
