Risk analysis is a mathematical computation of the percentage of the cumulative contribution of ancestors in a particular disease process. Verified information regarding affecteds and producers of the diseases is entered into the database.
The computer program then calculates the risk value of a disease for a particular dog or for a prospective mating.
The computations are only as good as the amount of information in the database because the risk values are the product of known & verified affecteds or producers. The more complete the data; the better the analysis.

Risk analysis is now computed for seizures, PCD and PRA. Also
included are results of testings for Hips, Elbows, Eyes and
Hearts, where published records are available or where owners
can provide private test results.
The person requesting a risk analysis must be the breeder
and/ or owner of at least one of the IWs in the prospective
mating. Where possible, all owners will be sent the results of
the analysis.
The names of owner, breeder or dog are not mentioned unless
permission is received in writing to share information.
