Profile
Call Name: Lily
Breed: Miniature Australian Shepherd
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: June 2021
Testing Laboratory: Paw Print Genetics
Certificate Date: May 29, 2023
Health Screening Summary
Lily has tested Normal (Clear) for the following hereditary conditions, meaning she does not carry the mutations for these specific diseases:
- Collie Eye Anomaly (NHEJ1 gene)
- Hereditary Cataracts (HSF4 gene, Australian Shepherd Type)
- Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRCD) (PRCD gene)
- Multidrug Resistance 1 (ABCB1 gene)
- Multifocal Retinopathy 1 (BEST1 gene)
- Hyperuricosuria (SLC2A9 gene)
- Intestinal Cobalamin Malabsorption (AMN and CUBN genes, Aussie and Border Collie Types)
Breeding Considerations (Carrier Status)
- Degenerative Myelopathy (SOD1 gene): Lily is a Carrier (WT/M).
- Clinical Impact: She is not at increased risk for the disease herself
- Breeding Recommendation: To ensure no offspring are affected by this condition, Lily should only be bred to a mate who is Normal (WT/WT) for the SOD1 gene.
Coat Color & Trait Genetics
- Merle (M Locus): Genotype M236/M271.
- Dilute (D Locus): Genotype D/D (Non-dilute). She does not carry the "dilute" or lightening mutation and will pass the D allele to 100% of her offspring.
- Black Pigment (E Locus): Genotype E/E. She carries two copies of the E allele, allowing for the production of black pigment.
- White Spotting (S Locus): Genotype S/S. She carries two copies of the S allele, resulting in a solid coat with no white spotting or piebald patterns.
