Belgian Tervuren
Belgian Tervuren genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 31 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.31. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Belgian Tervuren clusters consistently as Belgian Tervuren (100% of the 31 dogs here). At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs lower than average (13% here vs 56%); IGF1 runs lower than average (16% here vs 55%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Belgian Sheepdog, Briard, Ibizan Hound, Kelpie, and Australian Cattle Dog.
Median lifespan is 13.8 years, about 2.0 years longer than a typical dog of 25.0 kg, an unusually positive longevity for this size.
