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 Six

TGIF.....

I had two days off this week and it still felt like the weekend would never get here. I made the appointment to get their BAER hearing test today so I will know whether my predictions are correct or not. They get tested on Jan. 10. They will be 7 weeks old then. This evening I trimmed the puppy's nails again. They were so good for it! They really are sweet loving puppies.

 Emily is feeding the babies again. I think she feels like she is up to her eyeballs in alligators
