Briard
Briard genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 13 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.35. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Briard clusters consistently as Briard (100% of the 13 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3519), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, FGF5 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 64%); BMP3 runs lower than average (33% here vs 66%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.352, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 13 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Great Pyrenees, Irish Water Spaniel, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Pomeranian, and Portuguese Water Dog.
