Polish Lowland Sheepdog
Polish Lowland Sheepdog genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 21 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.37. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Polish Lowland Sheepdog clusters consistently as Polish Lowland Sheepdog (100% of the 21 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3683), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, MSRB3 runs lower than average (12% here vs 80%); STC2 runs lower than average (14% here vs 74%). This is a densely populated region, many genetically similar dogs are sampled.
Ranks 97 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically diverse breeds in the atlas. Mean heterozygosity is 0.368, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 21 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Ukraine, village dog Slovakia, village dog Crusade, village dog Kazakhstan, and Feral Dog Chernobyl.
