Notes/Events:
* Genetic coefficient of inbreeding (COI) of 30% through Embark
​
* Homozygous (2 copies) for GPT gene mutation that can cause reduced ALT liver enzyme activity. This is medically relevant as baseline ALT levels can be expected to be "low" or "low-normal" in a dog with 2 copies of GPT, and a "normal" or "high-normal" reading might be considered abnormal.

* 6/19/2022 - Litter of 3 pups born at her co-breeders' home: 1 B/W Male, 1 B/W Female, 1 G/W Female. (Sire: CH Kansa Betcha By Golly Wow AOM.) Male pup passed away within first week, 2 females sold by her co-breeders to pet homes.

* 1/9/2023 - Spayed (uterus and ovaries completely removed). No complications.
Genetic Testing Results:
March 12, 2022 - Shiva's OFA health testing results are pictured below. Her hips were rated Excellent and her Eyes, Elbows, Patellas, Heart, and Dentition were rated Normal/Clear.
June 14, 2020 - Shiva's Genetic Health Certificate from PawPrint Genetics. She was tested for CD (Cone Degeneration), DM (Degenerative Myelopathy), GM1 (Gangliosidosis), and XL-PRA (X-Linked Progressive Retinal Atrophy) and is 100% clear for all 4 disorders.
Picture
March 1, 2020 - A sample of Shiva's Embark results are displayed below, including the following: GM1 and XL-PRA results (Normal/Clear, as with Paw Print Genetics above); genetic COI (30%) and diversity compared to the breed average; chromosomal inbreeding graph; GPT (ALT enzyme activity) results; and coat color/trait results.
