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 Nine

Oh what fun 5 week old puppies are!!!!! They are so curious and playful. I noticed a big change in Dalton this week. He was not the bravest puppy in the litter and a little sound sensitive but he seems to have overcome his hesitation. He is very sweet and very pretty. Every day I have a different favorite! Because it was so cold and rainy outside the big dogs didn't want to be out so we had a free for all inside. Here are some pictures of them all playing.
