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.

And then there was one!

Two more puppies went to their new homes today. It seems very quiet here tonight. The remaining puppy is Indian. He has stolen my heart and I can't bear to think about him leaving for a new home. He is so smart and willing. I will be Scarlett O'Hara and think about that tomorrow.....


Pumpkin went to her new home with Judy. Judy has two of Garrett's sons Webster and Spirit and a senior Dal Stevie. I believe that her new name will be Brandy.

Pilgrim was next to leave. Stephanie has a sweet rescue Dal named Gracie and a senior Yorkie so he will have lots of playmates. Not sure what his new name will be yet but Steph was thinking about Homer or George.
