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 Nineteen

The puppies now have teeth and they are interacting with each other. Tomorrow I will buy some puppy food and start feeding them. I'm sure Bizzi is ready for me to assist her in the feeding duties. I think it is about time to switch them to a crate rather than the pool. They are getting more fun to watch every day!
