Jamie (now Zoey) had a little adventure this morning and is completely exhausted. I’m sure she is dreaming of her new mommy and all the fun things they will do together. 🩷

The importance of Genetic Testing

THE BASICS OF USING GENETIC TESTS by Mendel's rules of inheritance.
DNA TESTING IS A BLESSING WHEN IT'S BEING USED PROPERLY AND CLEVERLY, and a MALDICTION WHEN USED OTHERWISE!
Luckily many breeders started to use DNA tests in their breeding programmes. BUT not all of them aware of how to use its result protecting quality without unnecessarily loosing gene pool and causing "bottle neck effect", that can be fatal in some other aspects, especially, when we want to use it to avoid OTHER problems than the one single genetic defect we are concentrating on!
My own rules:
1.Do NOT breed based only on papers and documents! Do not create a litter just because its expected parents are fitting to each other in their genetic profile!! TAKE the PRIORITY of overall QUALITY, CONFORMATION, BREEDTYPE, CHARACTER, HEALTH and FUNCTIONAL TEMPERAMENT , and THEN you choose the best amongst of them by their genetic tests in different subjects you are aware of!
2.ALWAYS give priority to those DNA test results related to the health, expected life span, quality of life, instead of features that has nothing to do with it, (like COLOUR f.e., especially if THAT colour is in the gene pool of the breed, does not affect health issues but the human made Standard does not accept it bc of some reason )!
3. Do NOT eliminate " carriers" with good quality related to 1 single gene failure out of many millions, because you will easily sacrifice all of those qualities. LEARN how to use carriers without producing even ONE SINGLE affected dog!
4. REMEMBER that these rules are only STATISTICS, the number of healthy or affected dogs can be different in any produced litter. Using 2 " carriers" can result all " clear" puppies in your litter with some luck, but has the risk to have all puppies affected, so it cannot be generally advised.
5. An " affected" dog of otherwise great qualities ( working ability, temperament or even being "clear" in some other serious illnes that affects the breed) with a " clear" counter parents will NOT produce ANY sick puppies, but because all of them will be healthy carriers, hopefully carrying the great quality, the F2 generation MUST be planned and created using DNA test! If you give away puppies from such litter to only pet owners then better to neutralize them or not giving their documents away until the new owner follows the order of the breeder for possible further breeding.
DNA TESTING IS THE WAY TO BREED NOWADAYS, USING THE EVER GROWING NUMBER OF THE SCIENCE's RESEARCHES' RESULTS, BUT
You do NOT need to use unnecessary tests, just because it is available, if that failure does not exist in your breed or if it does not effect the overall quality, the life span, health, function or the quality of the dog's life!
USE THE POSSIBILITIES and do NOT let yourself being MISLED by anybody with limited knowledge!

Our fearless 4 went for a romp in the grass this afternoon!

It went better than expected, Freddie has officially had the first p*e of the litter outside (he’s a bit of an overachiever 🙂)

Reminder that both pied beauties are reserved 🩷💙

Her family is also eagerly awaiting her arrival in 3 weeks. 🩷

We have all heard about Red Lobster BUT have you heard about Fred Lobster?!?

Freddie has his family patiently waiting until he is old enough to join them.

3/4 have the absolute perfect little teddy bear ears! Little Annie will have her soon enough.

And they also seem to be taking to the pine pellet box 7/10 times!

There are still 2 little ladies from this litter that would be the perfect addition.

10/15/2024

Carrie (left) and Jamie (right)

These little ladies were showing off a few NEW milestones this evening!

Carrie wanted everyone to see her tiny teeth that are starting to come in.

And OF COURSE Jamie is showing off that cute little ear.

Their parents have OFA health testing and genetic screening. They are also eligible to be registered (pet only) with AKC.

They will be vet checked with age appropriate vaccines prior to turning 8 weeks on Friday, November 8,2024.

Please send a message for any additional information.

The weather is yucky, we are staying nice and dry!

It looks like Jamie’s little teddy bear ears are starting to stand up!

We are screening to find the absolute best families for our remaining little ladies (Jamie and Carrie)
