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

Today was a very busy day for me. The puppies had visitors. James and Vickie came to see the puppies for the first time. They are getting one but they fell in love with them all. The swabs came in the mail today so I will get the DNA samples tomorrow and send them in on Monday.  The first picture is Kennedy.
The next two are of Macy

UH-OH...They can almost see out of the pen. Once they can stand up and look out they want out to run amok!
