Weimaraner
Weimaraner genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 57 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.25. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Weimaraner clusters consistently as Weimaraner (100% of the 57 dogs here). At the trait loci, STC2 runs lower than average (36% here vs 74%); LCORL runs lower than average (46% here vs 83%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Ranks 14 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, well into the upper quartile of population contraction. Low breed predictability score (0.21), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Irish Water Spaniel, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Brittany, English Cocker Spaniel, and Maltese.
Median lifespan is 12.8 years, slightly longer than expected for the breed size (32.5 kg).
