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 Seven

Snow at last! It was a beautiful day with lots of snow. The puppies had visitors today and they had a very good time getting lots of lovin' from Lisa, Carol and Jack. Only dog people would come out on a very snowy day to get to play with puppies! They came bearing gifts too! Carol brought the very best cookies I have ever eaten and Lisa brought me a precious picture of Uncle Indy and also a beautiful hand crafted necklace and earrings. Lucky me! The puppies played themselves out and slept most of the afternoon. I am too tired to identify the puppies in the pictures so you will have to guess!
