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 Fifty Five

Not much is happening so I have very little to report. Unfortunately I ran out of the nice paper I had to line the puppy pen with so I had to resort to newspaper. Luckily LaDonna had some newspaper that I could have. Our local newspaper company use to give the butt rolls away to whoever wanted it but they are no longer doing that. I would gladly pay them for it but that is not an option. I had about 8 rolls but now it is all gone. I hate to use newspaper because it makes the puppies gray.  Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Indian always has his nose on the ground. I think he would make a tracking dog.
