Marley's report
Sample · example report
Meet Marley.
A Terrier-forward mix with a more typical background, a devoted temperament, and 2 carrier markers worth knowing about.
Who is Marley?
The breed mix, the coat, and the temperament their genes lean toward.
Breed mix
About 82% Terrier, across 3 varieties, with other breeds rounding out the mix.
What that mix tends to mean day to day
A dapper, tuxedoed charmer with big eyes and an even bigger sense of fun.
- Natural comedian. Bostons tend to be playful entertainers who love making their people laugh.
- City-sized companion. Compact and adaptable, they usually settle happily into apartments and busy households.
- People person. Bostons often want to be involved in everything, preferably from your lap.
A compact charmer who takes life at an easy pace and thrives on couch time together.
- Velcro companion. Frenchies usually want to be near their people, so expect a shadow from room to room.
- Low-key energy. They tend to prefer short strolls and long lounges over marathon fetch sessions.
- Quiet type. Frenchies are often among the quieter breeds, leaning on expressive faces instead of barking.
A confident, good-humored companion who adores their people and loves to play.
- Devoted to family. AmStaffs tend to be affectionate, people-focused dogs who want to be near their humans.
- Playful athlete. They usually bring strength and enthusiasm to games, so sturdy toys are a smart buy.
- Eager to please. With their people, AmStaffs are often soft-hearted and keen to get things right.
These describe breed tendencies. Every dog is an individual, so yours may differ.

Coat
Black and white, non-merle, full pigment.
- Base colour
- Black and white
- Pattern
- Piebald / Irish-spotting
- Dilution
- None (full pigment)
- White markings
- Minor white markings possible
- Merle
- Non-merle
MC1R (E) and ASIP (A) are N-masked in canFam4; a commercial coat test is recommended for those.
Pigment-lightening modifier
IRF4 change may lighten pigment (links to the Copy Number panel).
Show the science
- E (MC1R) e/?: N-masked in canFam4; a commercial coat test resolves this best.
- K (CBD103) ky/ky: Allows the A-locus pattern to show.
- A (ASIP) ay/?: Sable possible.
- B (TYRP1) B: Black eumelanin, not brown.
- D (MLPH) D: Full pigment, not dilute.
- M (PMEL) m: Non-merle.

Markers and lineage, framed as things to know, never a diagnosis.
Known markers
We screened 479 sites. 357 came back clear. The markers worth knowing about are below.
What this means
A cosmetic or physical-trait marker, not a health condition.

Genetic diversity
More diverse than about 5% of dogs.
Inbreeding coefficient 33.5% versus a panel median of 23.8% (1,929 dogs). Lower is a more diverse, more outbred background.

The deep science
The heavy genomics, summarized calmly. Open any of them for the full readout.
ChromosomesAll balanced
What this means: we checked that every chromosome is present in the normal amount, nothing extra, nothing missing. Everything came back balanced, which is what you want to see.
How we measured it: read depth normalised per 1 Mb window across every chromosome, mean ratio 0.999 (1.0 is a normal two-copy result), with 0 windows low and 0 high across 124 windows.
Copy numberNo copy-number changes detected
What this means: we looked for stretches of DNA that are duplicated or missing compared with other dogs. Nothing notable stood out.
How we measured it: 4-dog reference panel aligned to canFam4. A loss is confirmed when only this dog is depleted.
Rare variants2,497 high-impact catalogued
What this means:these are rare spellings in your dog's DNA that are uncommon across the wider dog population. We catalogue them for completeness. Most are harmless, and none of this is a diagnosis.
| Gene | Effect | Zygosity | Pop. freq |
|---|---|---|---|
| IGF2BP2 | Splice acceptor | hom | 0.26% |
| PLEKHG5 | Stop gained | hom | 0.9% |
| ADGRV1 | Splice donor | het | 1.4% |
How we measured it: Imputation against the Dog10K panel (29M SNPs, 1,929 dogs) with functional effect annotation.
