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 Four

Today the puppies got microchipped. The needle that inserts the chip is very big but the puppies were very brave. Some of them cried a little but seemed to forget all about it as soon as it was done.


Tomorrow will be a very busy day because we are going to take individual pictures. Here are some pictures we took today.
