Miniature Dachshund

Miniature Dachshund genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 8 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.32. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Miniature Dachshund

In the atlas, the Miniature Dachshund clusters consistently as Miniature Dachshund (100% of the 8 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3218), 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 (25% here vs 80%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.322, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (1.83), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 8 dogs of this breed in the atlas, every individual contributes outsized weight to the breed's computed profile.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Dachshund, Basset Hound, Havanese, Minature Poodle, and Wirehaired Pointing Griffon.
