Twas the week of the blizzard
“Twas the week of the blizzard
And all through the yard
Frisbees were scattered
With Jack standing guard.
Snow frisbee is tiring
Jack’s mom had to stop
But not for a Dalmatian
He’d play till he dropped
The squirrels were all hiding
They were nowhere in sight
But Jack kept on hoping
He’d find one to bite.
We trudged through the drifts
And jumped over piles
And then I remembered
That Dals can run miles.
Jack looked in the sky
Would Santa fly by
Bring Lacey to me
He barked with a sigh.
So until he can see her
He’ll just have to wait
With her picture taped
To the side of his crate.”

There are litters to plan, puppies to
show, dogs to finish and specials
to be debuted and campaigned. There are
more letters to write and petitions to sign as the
fight against the Animal Rights activists begins
anew. And sadly, there are always more dogs to
rescue.
For those of us who are breeders at heart, there
is nothing more exciting than the promise of a
new litter. The stud dog has been selected, health
clearances are complete and arrangements have
been made. Now the waiting game begins. If the

he New Year is upon us. It is a time of reflection –

News from the UK...
Registration of a Low Uric Acid Dalmatian Import from the USA *
At its meeting on 5th January 2010, the Kennel
Club General Committee accepted an application
to register an imported Dalmatian produced from
a breeding programme which was originated
with an intentional Pointer/Dalmatian cross. This
cross-breeding was carried out in the USA as part
of a programme aimed at introducing the low (or
normal) uric acid gene into the Dalmatian breed.
This decision is subject to certain conditions,
which include the dog being examined by two
Championship Show judges to confirm that its
external appearance and characteristics are representative of the breed.
The decision taken by the General Committee
is in line with the Kennel Club’s commitment to
consider applications to register dogs from outcrossings and inter-variety matings if it is felt that
to do so may present potential health and welfare
benefits.
The Kennel Club consulted the Dalmatian breed
clubs on this matter and their joint feedback was
considered at length by the General Committee
before arriving at this decision.
Background
It is believed that the Dalmatian breed is fixed
for a recessive mutation of a gene that alters uric
acid metabolism, resulting in increased urinary
excretion of uric acid. This gene is not expressed
in most other breeds of dog which excrete lower
amounts of uric acid in their urine.
The use of a recently developed DNA test for this
genetic mutation on Dalmatians in the USA has
shown that the frequency of the normal gene is
close to zero in the USA population of the breed.
Similar DNA testing of the UK population has
yet to be undertaken, but it is likely that a comparable scenario exists in the UK population of
Dalmatians.
Some years ago in the USA, a cross-breeding was
carried out between a Dalmatian and a Pointer
with the intention of producing offspring that were
low uric acid (LUA) excretors, because the Pointer
used in the cross would not have carried the mutant gene. The offspring from this mating and their
descendants have subsequently been back-crossed
with purebred Dalmatians over many successive
generations.
Decision
Recently, the Kennel Club received a proposal to
register an imported LUA Dalmatian that is descended from the initial Pointer/Dalmatian cross.
The outcross Pointer appears at least 13 generations back in the pedigree of the imported dog.
In line with the general aim of the KC to help
individual breeders and breed clubs to improve
the health and welfare of future litters, the General
Committee has agreed to register this imported
LUA Dalmatian subject to confirmation from two
championship Show judges that the imported dog’s
external appearance and characteristics are representative of the breed.
The registration records of this dog and its descendants will be annotated by the KC’s normal asterisk system whereby the progeny of the first mating
between the dog and a registered Dalmatian, the
F1 progeny, will have their registrations annotated
with three asterisks. Then, when F1 progeny are
bred from, their progeny, the F2 progeny, will be
annotated with two asterisks. F2 progeny will produce F3 progeny which will be registered with one
asterisk. The F4 and subsequent generations will
have no special annotation.
In addition to the above conditions the committee
also agreed that the registrations of all progeny
would be endorsed with the restriction ‘Not eligible for Export Pedigree’ for the next five years,
and the owners would be required to submit a
health report, to include BAER testing results, on
all progeny in five years’ time.

My thoughts on the UK decision to register Low Uric Acid Dalmatians.
A UK breeder’s point of view.
by Julie Evans, Tyrodal Dalmatians
I could start by telling you all my reasons for wanting to incorporate the NUA gene into my line but to
say, health is at the top of my list should be enough.
Those of us who want to progress with these Dalmatians see them as a means to further the best interests
of the breed! Those that dont are entitled to their
choices.
It took just about a year for me to get Kennel Club
approval to register NUA Dalmatians in the UK.
That time was mainly taken up with correct protocol,
presentation of my application, obtaining and supplying all the information that was available both on
the girls I was importing and NUA Dals in general,
information and records of both was easily obtained
from the excellent records kept on all the breedings of
these dogs. Other UK breeders also communicated
their support to the KC.
