Silky Terrier
Silky Terrier genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 9 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.32. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Silky Terrier clusters consistently as Silky Terrier (100% of the 9 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3202), 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%); SMAD2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 74%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.320, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.10), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 9 dogs of this breed in the atlas, every individual contributes outsized weight to the breed's computed profile.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Australian Terrier, Bedlington Terrier, American Hairless Terrier, village dog Nz North, and village dog Nz South.
