What the atlas says about Village Dog Slavic

In the atlas, the village dog Slavic clusters consistently as village dog Slavic (100% of the 16 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3352), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, STC2 runs lower than average (16% here vs 74%); MSRB3 runs lower than average (34% here vs 80%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.335, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.27), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 16 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Armenia, Polish Lowland Sheepdog, village dog Slovakia, village dog Ukraine, and village dog Kazakhstan.
