Predicted probabilities of EOW outcomes if contractions are poor and no malpositioned fetus is present. On the y-axis are the predicted probabilities of the nine outcomes of the target trait EOW for the weight of the dam ranging from the mean – 2sd (23.6 kg) to the mean + 2sd (32.8 kg) on the x-axis. HPW is the weight of the heaviest puppy in a litter in kg. All predicted probabilities are significantly different from zero with the exception of the estimate for a c-section at 32.8 kg in the case of a light heaviest puppy and the estimates at 23.6 kg in the case of a heavy heaviest puppy
