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 Three

Today the puppies are big enough to stand up on their hind legs and see out! They won't miss a thing now. If you notice in the pictures that the puppies don't have their collars on  it is because as they fell off I didn't get around to replacing them. I will do that this weekend. We are going to try to take individual pictures this weekend. That is a three person job but you will get to see them from all angles.

Here are some pictures from today.
