Does it mean that 8% of the dog's genes, which where received from the father, match the genes received from the mother (in that they come from the same traceable ancestor)? And are there not isolated bloodlines throughout the world where have not been largely mixed with American border collie lines? If this really is a problem then importing some herding border collies from South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia seems like an easy solution.
