Keeshond
Keeshond genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 24 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.33. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Keeshond clusters consistently as Keeshond (100% of the 24 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3285), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 56%); IGF1 runs higher than the atlas average (91% here vs 55%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.329, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.24), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 24 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Pomeranian, Chihuahua, village dog Peru Puno, Papillon, and village dog Peru Loreto.
