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 Twenty Four

It is amazing how much they can change in one day. Today they are really responding too the "psst" sound. When I made the sound this evening when it was time for their meal every one of them jumped up and started searching for the noise. I have had bilateral responses from many of them already! YAY!

Bizzi has decided that since I am feeding them now I can clean up the poop too. In another week or so I will start decreasing her food since she will start decreasing the amount of milk she produces. She has been a very good mommy except for one thing. She keeps stealing all the toys from the puppy pen and stashing them in her crate.
