Oops, forgot to tag #uglydogs . Update on the PCD research and GFM!
Today, Watkins and his littermates Q, Zirkle, and Foucher all went to the vet to get blood draw DNA samples. Everyone was very good for the staff! The vet mailed these off immediately so they are on their way to the University of Minnesota to start the genome sequencing!

Well, this looks like a very good chance to finally get a marker for PCD.
If the gene can be isolated, a test may be possible in the future.
I've known Snotty.
Most of us have.
Let's do this in her memory.
I will add $50 to any donation until the goal is met.

Hello friends! I've been keeping this under wraps for a long time, but finally ready to share. Watkins has Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), the same disease @beccaj.bsky.social 's Snotty had. I am working with the University of Minnesota to research PCD in Alaskan Huskies.

If anyone can help so the PCD gene can be found I would appreciate it! The spirit of Snotty will bring you a gift if you do…a random hole in your sock or shredded blankets? The options are endless. #uglydogs

The best parts of my job in the IEP part of things is citing law AND politely telling administrators they are jack asses and to get more training. #uglydogs

Tupac stole my credit card to sponsor his daughter for the race season. They have other dogs that need sponsorship, some of Snotty’s nieces and nephews need sponsors. #uglydogs

I don’t know if anyone saw Otter Runs Patreon post today but Gomer passed away today at 14 years old. Gomer is Tupac’s dad. Can we do a group howl tonight for him? #uglydogs

DIL took Panther out for a pup cup and a pit stop to the bank. Panther was ABSOLUTELY concerned about with the tube system at the bank. #uglydogs

Guess who has a torn meniscus! I did NOTHING for this to happen. I am requesting all my records and imaging from Minneapolis. 🙃
