Bichon Frise
Bichon Frise genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 32 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.33. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Bichon Frise clusters consistently as Bichon Frise (100% of the 32 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3299), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, SMAD2 runs lower than average (3% here vs 74%); FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (20% here vs 77%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.330, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.21), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Schipperke, Xoloitzcuintli, Otterhound, Chinese Crested, and Miniature Poodle. AKC classifies the breed in the toy group; the corrected top-10-PC distance places it nearer to the non sporting group. This is one of the atlas's strong-tier AKC mismatch findings.
