Cardigan Welsh Corgi
Cardigan Welsh Corgi genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 14 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.37. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi clusters consistently as Cardigan Welsh Corgi (100% of the 14 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.366), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (0% here vs 77%); FGF4_retrogene_CFA12 runs lower than average (18% here vs 80%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.366, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 14 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Australian Shepherd, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Border Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, and Old English Sheepdog.
