“Fetch and herding super star! Loves small animals and children, but needs to be reminded not to be too rambunctious - getting better at this with age. She loves running around outside on our farm. She is alert with strangers, but easy to win over if they pose no threat or we tell her they don't. Short and stocky, built like a classic American Bully. She gives the absolute best greetings, she is so full of love. She is perfect! We love our Chubbs (:”

Health Summary
Chubs inherited two variants that you should learn more about.
Urate Kidney & Bladder Stones
What does this result mean?
This variant should not impact Chubs’s health. This variant is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a dog needs two copies of the variant to show signs of this condition. Chubs is unlikely to develop this condition due to this variant because she only has one copy of the variant.
Impact on Breeding
This result is also important if you decide to breed this dog - to produce the healthiest puppies we recommend genetic testing any potential mates for this condition.
What is Urate Kidney & Bladder Stones?
This condition causes kidney and bladder stones composed of urate. In most dogs, uric acid is converted to allantoin, an inert substance that is then excreted in the urine. Dogs with HUU have defects in the pathway that converts uric acid to allantoin. As such, uric acid builds up, crystallizes and forms urate stones in the kidney and bladder. Uric acid is an intermediate of purine metabolism. While hyperuricemia in other species (including humans) can lead to painful conditions such as gout, dogs do not develop systemic signs of hyperuricemia.
Ichthyosis
Chubs inherited one copy of the variant we tested
What does this result mean?
This variant should not impact Chubs’s health. This variant is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a dog needs two copies of the variant to show signs of this condition. Chubs is unlikely to develop this condition due to this variant because she only has one copy of the variant.
Impact on Breeding
This result is also important if you decide to breed this dog - to produce the healthiest puppies we recommend genetic testing any potential mates for this condition.
What is Ichthyosis?
This skin disorder gets its name from the thick, darkly pigmented scales of skin ("ichthys" is Greek for "fish") that affected dogs display on their noses, paw pads, and muzzles.

What is a linkage test?
DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome tend to be inherited together. Because of this, we can use genetic variation surrounding a specific variant (i.e. "linked" to it) to infer the presence or absence of a variant that is associated with a health condition or trait.
Linkage tests are not as predictive of your dog’s true genotype as direct assays, which we use on most other genetic conditions we test for.

No Result
For every test, we run multiple assays to ensure the accuracy of the results we deliver. For your dog, one or more of these produced inconclusive or low confident results. Therefore, we are not able to provide you with a result at this time.
Base Coat Color
No Result
For every test, we run multiple assays to ensure the accuracy of the results we deliver. For your dog, one or more of these produced inconclusive or low confident results. Therefore, we are not able to provide you with a result at this time.
Coat Color Modifiers
No Result
For every test, we run multiple assays to ensure the accuracy of the results we deliver. For your dog, one or more of these produced inconclusive or low confident results. Therefore, we are not able to provide you with a result at this time.
