What the atlas says about Bouvier Des Flandres

In the atlas, the Bouvier Des Flandres clusters consistently as Bouvier Des Flandres (100% of the 16 dogs here). At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (38% here vs 77%); HMGA2 runs lower than average (19% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.

Low breed predictability score (0.14), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 16 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Curly Coated Retriever, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Labrador Retriever, Belgian Malinois, and American Eskimo Dog.
