some fanstastic news the kennel club has agreed to register 2 lua dalmatians that julie of tyrodal kennels have brought over from america.

hopefully the breeding in with our dalmatians will improve the health of the dalmatians and sooner or later stop crystals and kidney stones in them.

lua is low urine acid dogs

for you that not heard of this before have a read of these links they explain it better than i can. the genetics of it all is hard read but worth it.

Now when this type of introducing of another breed is done and done correctly for true health purposes, and dilligently recorded, and done by people who really know what they are doing I think is great. wonderful opportunity now for breeders to head in the right direction, and erradicate this health issue.

FABULOUS NEWS!

Agree with moby here - outcrossing to reduce health problems and with meticulous recording done its fabulous!

Its funny how it was such a fight to have it recorded. In the cat world, certain breeds have recognised outcrosses, and their progeny can be registered! Outcrossing seems to be much more common in the cat world as a whole though.

Madness on behalf of the KC for taking so long! Shame on them!

Well done Julie

it's great news to see some sort of opening in the stud books...

although i am not a follower of the pure breeding movement...(i mean, great for showing, comparing, tradition...or whatever...i am mostly for a type of dog rather than a breed so than i can better manage what goes in and what comes out without having to deal with clubs rules and regulations that have thrust and coerced or forced out of the clubs many well meaning and knowledgeable breeders...and reached absurdity...but this is my stupid quirk, i guess...)
i think that these sort of projects should be the norm rather than the exception.
well done to all involved in the LUA/NUA project...
this news made my day!

Awesome
