Predicted probabilities of EOW outcomes if contractions are poor and the weight of the heaviest puppy in a litter is 0.54 kg. On the y-axis are the predicted probabilities of the nine outcomes of the target trait EOW for the number of malpositioned fetuses ranging from 0 to 3 or more on the x-axis. DWT is the adult weight of the dam in kg. If the number of malpositioned fetuses is one or more, predicted probabilities for a normal delivery are not significantly different from zero, regardless of the weight of the dam. If the number of malpositioned fetuses is two or more, predicted probabilities for an assisted delivery are not significantly different from zero, regardless of the weight of the dam. All other predicted probabilities are significantly different from zero
