Add Coefficient of Inbreeding to search options

I think it would come in handy if players could set the exact percentage of inbreeding in both trades and in the search feature to rule out inbred wolves! Whenever I'm buying a new wolf or looking for a stud,ย  I just wish there would be an option where you can only see wolves with 0% COI (Coefficient Of Inbreeding) as I personally wouldn't want to engage with inbreeding and searching out NIB wolves to be a fine addition in my pack takes a lot of time in general!
I'm under the impression that it could be incorporated in two different ways. Either having a small button alongside the general options pop up asking something like: 0% Inbreeding Coefficient? or "Only search wolves with 0% COI". Maybe you could also type in the exact amount of COI you prefer including 0, although, I think it would be a bit pointless as most players (at least I think) only search out 0% COI and nothing more as even as little as 2% can be seen as inbred, thus being a major turnoff.
It would definitely involve some coding on the developer's part, although I'm not that sure about the exact difficulty!
If you have any opinions about it, agree or disagree with it, or would like to add some input please do feel free to share!

COI would still give a possibility for one or both parents to be inbred due to outcrossing. If two inbred but otherwise completely unrelated animals were to have a litter together the offspring would all be 0%.

I do support this suggestion though, because some people only look for low COI, but for your playstyle you would probably want to search by instances of inbreedingย  instead :)
