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 were three

Today Cranberry now known as Belle went to her new home. She will be Rim Rock's Second Alarm. Matt and Erin own Bunker who is a littermate to Grandma Bizzi and have been waiting patiently for a female puppy to add to their family. Erin has shown horses and rabbits and now would like to learn to show Dalmatians! I am so happy that Belle has joined their family.
