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 Thirty Eight

I thought that the puppies might be tired after their big adventure yesterday but that doesn't seem to be the case. The played and played this evening until they wore themselves out.  They all are quite sweet except Emily who continues to think it is her way or no way.
Here are a few more pictures from yesterday.
