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.

Week Nine

The puppies turned nine weeks old today and I am still alive! The five puppies that have already moved to their new homes all seem to be doing well. I have not been able to keep up with the blog as often as I had hoped. Sorry to those of you that need a daily puppy fix...  I hope today's post will help!
