Mars Veterinary Wisdom Panel Sample Reports

[DesertDales]

In light of the discussions, I thought I would post a couple of reports that I obtained. These are rescued dogs without known pedigrees, so can't be used to prove or disprove purity, but I thought people might like to see how they compare. I didn't document the blood draw, so all you have is my word that the dog pictured is the dog whose blood was submitted. This one is for a dog named Harley. Harley looked like an all red Airedale when he came in, but it turns out he actually does have a black saddle - it is just very faint. During certain times of the year, or if he is out in the sun a lot, it fades out.

Here's Duke










I can't tell in the preview version whether these are coming out large enough to read or not. If anyone wants a PDF of the original report, let me know.

Sidney

[DesertDales]

This is Earl. His adoptive family submitted the blood to Mars. Jim D, if you are reading this, you worked with Earl back in 2005.

Actually, no. It's not a "wrench" at all.

Except, maybe, to the showbreeders.



everybody keeps claiming:

"the airedale genome has been mapped! the airedale genome has been mapped!!"

but in reality, there is more than one airedale terrier genome



so in reality, only one of the airedale genomeS has been mapped

genetically speaking, the airedale terrier is -extremely fortunate- to have more than one genome, btw




post script:

of course it's only a matter of time before the ATCA selects an "official genome"

& anybody that don't fit will suffer the same fate as Southern did, 20 yrs ago

so don't get too comfy

thanks to all this modern technology

an AKC breed's genetic markers are subject to change without notice

Sidney,

How is Earl doing? He changed quite a bit in the few visits I had with him.

Hi, Jim,

Earl is doing great. He's a bit over-indulged, but his owners are happy, so what can I say?

Sidney

[blackhawksollars]

I want my report and photo up here too! Woof!

[southern]

I did not put this up and I really don't like the fact that someone has gone on my website and taken a photo w/o permission. In case, who ever you are didn't know, you can get in serious trouble. I just want to make this clear

Red Bear Four
DOB: 10/22/2002
Mogollon Rim Xena
Mogollon Rim Zacharias

Now that isn't a bad looking dog Sidney. It os Mogollon rim but I know Xena is not a slicky. Have no idea about Zacharias, but, my guess he is not a slicky either. Dog has more leg than most MR dales. Strange he ended up in rescue at about 8 years old.

[DesertDales]

Don, he's from Matt's "hairy" line

Here's a picture of Xena and Zach from his website.



Bear was starting to beat up on the family's older Airedale. They couldn't figure out a way to manage it that didn't mean isolating one dog or the other, so decided it would be better for Bear to go to a new home. He's a very happy only 'Dale now with another experienced Airedale family. Their previous Airedale was an 80 lb-er, and they are enjoying cute little 55# Bear now that they are older.

Now I feel Stupid Sidney, I know Zack but, didn't make the connection....Zack...Zackarias. Big leap their.LOL Bear kooks pretty leggy for one of Matts dogs, but, at 55lbs, gues it doesn;t take a lot to look leggy. Zack and Xena are either Henry's lines or Odob Corrs's or a mixture of the two. Thanks for posting this and the others.

While Zack and Xena had what is considered a conventional coat their matings also produced slick "redline types as illustrated below.

The Kay dog next to Cajun is a full sister to the adopted Bear dog.

Danny, if memory serves, wasn't Cajun Zacks sire. Cajun is in there somewhere because Matt never had any slicks before he got Cajun.
