Twinkie Cardiac OFA

    Twinkie's Health & Genetics

    Highlights From Her Genetic Panel

    • 100% Clear of all major inherited diseases tested, including, 
    • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)
    • Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
    • Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL1 and NCL2)
    • Sanfillipo Syndrome (MPS IIIA)
    • Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) 
    • Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 

    Genetic Diversity

    • Coeffiecent of Inbreeding (COI): 15%, a moderate level, indicating balanced genetic diversity
    • MHC Diversity (Immune System Diversity): Low diversity at DRB1 and high diversity at DQA1/DQB1, supporting a healthy immune system

    Physical & Coat Traits

    • Color & Pattern: Twinkie carries genetics for a classic black & tan coat pattern, no heavy white spotting, and a single copy of the merle (dapple) gene. 
    • Coat Type: She is genetically predisposed to have a long, straight coat with light shedding and no furnishings (no beard and bushy eyebrows)

    Body Features:

    • Short legs due to chondrodysplasia (a hallmark of the Dachshund breed)
    • Normal-length tail
    • Medium to long muzzle
    • Smaller body size, consistent with Miniature Dachshund standards

    Temperament and Performance Traits:

    • Normal food motivation 
    • Normal altitude tolerance

    • Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA)
    • Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL1 and NCL2)
    • Sanfillipo Syndrome (MPS IIIA)
    • Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) 
    • Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 

    Genetic Diversity

    • Coeffiecent of Inbreeding (COI): 6% (indicates healthy genetic diversity)
    • MHC Diversity (Immune System Diversity): No diversity detected at certain immune loci (common in many purebred dogs). 

    Physical & Coat Traits

    • Coat Color & Texture
    • Likely to have a black/tan pattern (aa at A locus) with solid coat but possible small white markings (Ssp at S locus)
    • Intermediate red pigmentation
    • Long-haired (LhLh at coat length gene).
    • Light shedding and straight coat texture.
    • No merle, no harlequin, and not albino. 

    Body Features:

    • Short legs due to chondrodysplasia (a hallmark of the Dachshund breed)
    • Normal-length tail
    • Medium to long muzzle
    • Smaller body size, consistent with Miniature Dachshund standards

    Temperament and Performance Traits:

    • Normal food motivation 
    • Normal altitude tolerance
