Chubs

“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

warn icon

Chubs inherited two variants that you should learn more about.

Urate Kidney & Bladder Stones

warn icon

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 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

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.

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.
