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 Two

The puppies were quiet for most of the morning which isn't surprising.  They often are a little subdued when some of their litter mates go to new homes. It was short lived though because they were hellions the rest of the day! People often ask how can I bear to part with them? Some are harder than others but as each one goes I feel as though I have not lost a puppy but rather made new friends!
Cranberry will be leaving next weekend and her new name will be Belle. I am sure she will have a wonderful life with her new human family and her uncle Bunker!

They can wreck the pen in seconds when they want too.
