We are still quite busy. Turnaround time is one to two working weeks.

Coat length L2 (L2)

Summary

Most long-haired dogs carry the common (L1) version of the length gene. Dogs with Akita, Siberian husky or Samoyed breeding can carry L2 instead or as well as L1.

The common (L1) and L2 length tests are both included in our shedding panel. Long hair on the couch is much more obvious than short hair!

Gene or region and technical reference

Gene: FGF5 (causative). Reference: Dierks et al. (2013)

Reported alleles

n. Test developed using manufactured DNA, animal controls.

Tests can be in the list more than once when the gene in question has more than one effect. It is OK to select the same test once or more than once, the price is the same.
