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 Three

This evening Kennedy met his new people. Melissa and Lexie drove from one end of the state to the other to get their new family member! The top choice for his new name is Miles. I think that will suit him nicely. He will share his life with 4 human siblings and 2 kitty ones. What a busy boy he will be!
 
And then there were four......
 
Sweet little Indian is stealing my heart.....

Pilgrim is so pretty and so sweet!

Is it safe to come out... our litter mates keep disappearing....

Macy and Loki are fast becoming best friends!

Sweet Dancer can't resist a tug o war game with Gracie.
