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

 I don't have many pictures to share from today because I killed another battery and don't have a spare nor do I feel like going to the store to get one. I just want to say to everyone who plans on bringing one of these babies home please don't fall in love with any one puppy. If you all get your heart set on the same puppy we will have quite a dilemma. Until I decide which puppy or puppies will be retained to produce the next generation of LUA dogs I can't make any promises. They are scheduled to have their BAER hearing testing on Oct. 24 so until then I am not going to make any decisions.  I do know they can start going to their new homes on Oct. 30th. so start thinking about when you would like to pick up your new family member!

I don't know what Kenny is telling Holly but she seems to think it is funny!
 WOW Look at all the things we can get into out there!
