Tibetan Spaniel
Tibetan Spaniel genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 42 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.31. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Tibetan Spaniel clusters consistently as Tibetan Spaniel (100% of the 42 dogs here). At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (0% here vs 77%); SMAD2 runs lower than average (16% here vs 74%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Pekingese, Shih Tzu, Tibetan Mastiff, Tibetan Terrier, and village dog Afghanistan.
Median lifespan is 15.2 years, about 2.0 years longer than a typical dog of 5.45 kg, an unusually positive longevity for this size.
