London

Summer Brook The Twilight Bark RA BN

London is my outgoing, loving, and confident dog who I have high hopes for in the obedience ring. She is active when she needs to be and loves to work. However, she can switch into her calm loving alter-ego in a heartbeat. Even as a puppy, she would often go into a down position when going up to children. It’s almost as if she sensed that her down position was a comfort to little ones. London loves belly rubs. She loves chasing a ball. She loves to please. In short, London loves life, all phases of it!

DNA Health Test Results for Sydney

PRA1 – Clear by Parentage – See Luke and Tara’s pages for proofs

PRA2 – She is either a clear or a carrier. Her dad, Luke, is clear. Her mom, Tara, is either a clear or a carrier. Since all our boys are clear, we won’t test London (unless at some point we consider using an outside stud that is not clear. Then we’d of course have her tested.) PRA1 and PRA2 are recessive genes. If one parent is clear, no puppies will be affected by it.

Ichthyosis – clear. London was identified as Miss Pink. If you look at the entire document, you’ll see that we were really blessed with this litter. All 4 girls were clear. Their dad was a carrier and their mom was clear. Statistically, we should have had 50/50 clears and carriers!
