BACKGROUND

Ranger is a Czechoslovakian Vlcak (CSV) and an ITR outcross stud dog for the Tamaskan Dog breed. He was born in Croatia at a local breeder in Sibinik, on the Adriatic coast. Originally, both of Ranger's parents (Tito and Veda) came from Wild Instinct kennel in Italy.

Unfortunately, Wild Instinct's ENCI breeding license was revoked/suspended for several bloodlines that were considered to have recent wolfdog ancestry (not purebred CSV) including Ranger's parents. Thankfully, that isn't an issue for us since we don't breed or show purebred CSV, nor are we registered with the FCI or ENCI. However, knowing the exact wolf content is important, which one of the perks of having Ranger EMBARK tested so we know the exact amount.

While Ranger's wolf content isn't too high (approximately the same as Nissa and Oberon) we plan to only breed him to our low/no content Tamaskan females, so that his potential future offspring will all be under 20% wolf content. Ranger lives with us at Sylvaen Acres, our family estate/homestead, and he is our much-loved personal companion and family pet.


HEALTH

DNA Profile: EMBARK



Via EMBARK DNA testing, we know that Ranger is a CARRIER of Degenerative Myelopathy (DM). However, we will only breed him with DM CLEAR females, so this means that 50% of his offspring will be DM CARRIER and 50% will be DM CLEAR (no offspring will be affected).

    

Ranger is CLEAR for Pituitary Dwarfism (PD / CPHD). We decided to get him DNA tested for Pituitary Dwarfism since it is a genetic disorder that exists in the CSV breed. Unfortunately, the DNA test for Dwarfism isn't yet included in the EMBARK DNA panel so we had to get him tested separately, via AnimaLabs here in Croatia.
