What Happens Genetically?
In the realm of responsible breeding practices and the preparation for future breeding initiatives, understanding genetics and its contribution to the production of healthy and flourishing puppies is crucial.
DNA TESTING RESULTS
Clear: No mutations.
Carrier: Not Affected but carries one mutated gene.
Affected: Two copies of the mutated gene and will likely show symptoms.
π IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS π
TEST ALL PUPPIES
If you're keeping or breeding them so youβre well informed.NEVER BREED TWO CARRIERS
That creates a risk of 25% affected puppies.
CARRIERS CAN BE KEPT IN BREEDING PROGRAMS
Especially if they have excellent traits, as long as they're only bred to clear mates.
Opulent Oodles takes great pride and exercises careful consideration in the planning of their breeding programs. We will never incorporate an affected dog into our program, nor will we breed a carrier with another carrier.
