U-CH Peach-Wyntr's Cool Blast X ST's-Wntr Quantum Chkrd Flags
First litter born at ST's kennel, March 30, 2005 - whelped normally.
5 males - 2 Merle, 3 B&W
Second litter born at ST's kennel b APRIL-10-2007 - c-section.
7 puppies - 5 Merle females, 2 B&W males - by c-section.
One male may have been a 'stuck' puppy possibly due to anasarca or possibly due to mis-presentation/size and became bloated post mortem due to delay in performing c-section. One merle female in proximity in-utero to the stuck puppy deceased shortly after birth. The only surviving male had a cleft palate and deceased at 3 days.
Currently research is in progress to identify genetic causes for cleft palate.
DNA from QT and her daughter Tiera from this litter as well as other close relatives have been submitted to the study. Nutrition and age of the dam may have also played a role in the issues which occurred in this litter.
