Miniature Bull Terrier genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 10 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.28. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Miniature Bull Terrier

In the atlas, the Miniature Bull Terrier clusters consistently as Miniature Bull Terrier (100% of the 10 dogs here). At the trait loci, SMOC2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 75%); FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (20% here vs 77%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.

High breed predictability score (32.05), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 10 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Bull Terrier, Bullmastiff, American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and Bulldog.
