Maks is one of a small number of Dalmatians worldwide that carries two copies of the desirable SLC2A9 gene therefore every puppy he produces will have one copy of the gene and therefore Low Uric Acid (LUA)! Emily has one copy of the LUA gene so we expect some of these puppies to have two copies! This beautiful litter is the result of breeding an outcrossed female back to her sire. I believe that homozygous puppies from this litter will be very useful in incorporating the LUA gene in other bloodlines. They are very healthy and consistent.

Day Eight - Happy Birthday Bizzi!

My sweet Bizzi turned 4 years old today. That time really flew by and she has accomplished so much in four short years. She has earned her International Championship, and both AKC and UKC Grand Championships. She has managed to accomplish all that while being handicapped by me as her handler. She was in the UKC Top Ten in 2009 and 2010 She won then Top Spot for 2009 and the Award of Excellence for 2010! Good Girl Bizzi! Now she is proving what a great dog she is as a mother! Happy Birthday Sweet Bizzi.
 Emily must have been able to smell Bizzi's special treat of salmon because she managed to follow the scent right to the bowl.
