The primary purpose of the Agria Breed Profiles is to provide Swedish breed clubs with a basis for their work on health issues within their breeds.

The LIFE file contains the rates of the most common and highest-risk causes of death.

The VC file contains the rates of the most common and highest-risk conditions requiring veterinary care.

The first Breed Profiles were provided to the Swedish Kennel Club and various breed clubs in 2002, covering the period from 1995 to 2002. Since then, Agria has presented four updates: 1995–2006 (approximately 100 breeds), 2006–2011 (approximately 130 breeds), 2011–2016 (approximately 180 breeds) and 2016–2021 (approximately 180 breeds).
