Birk is the old-fashioned Spitz type, that was bred on farms, but - with fully known proof of ancestry. His coat is rather moderate, but very dense and extremely easy to care for. He is very compact, with a straight and short back and his very good, strong bone structure.
Health:
Birk was once genetically examined at FERAGEN in Austria. In addition to his genetic inbreeding coefficient, his haplogroups and his genetic heterozygosity, he has currently tested negative for 158 diseases, as well as other genetic characteristics such as his height. Birk is a carrier of smaller body size, so he could possibly father smaller offspring with a suitable female.
After Birk's semen was collected by the "Tierhochschule Hannover" (Hannover Animal University) in mid-June (his semen is exported to the USA), we now know that his sperm is 80% progressively motile, which is a pretty good rate. It is also suitable for freezing, so that after freezing and thawing, 65% of the sperm were still progressively motile.
