🌟 Thank You for Visiting Us at Crufts – See You Next Year! 🌟

Back in March, Laboklin UK had the pleasure of exhibiting at Crufts 2025, and what an incredible event it was! Crufts is always a highlight in our calendar, and it’s a privilege to be part of such an amazing show year after year.

We were thrilled to meet so many passionate breeders at our stand, chat about the fascinating world of canine genetics, and share how our services can support your breeding goals. It was also wonderful to take samples from your lovely dogs and connect with you all in person. Your enthusiasm and insights made the event truly special for us. 🐾

A huge thank you to everyone who visited us this year! Your support and engagement mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to see you again next year.

Here are a few snapshots capturing some of our favourite moments—our stand, taking samples, and the wonderful dogs we met. 📸

Until then, feel free to reach out to us at any time!

Warm regards, The Laboklin UK Team

Lysosomal Storage Diseases (L*D)

in Dalmatian and Doberman

Lysosomal storage diseases refer to a collection of disorders characterized by the body's inability to produce essential metabolic enzymes. Lysosomes serve as cellular ‘recycling centres’ converting worn-out materials into substances that cells can utilize. When specific metabolic enzymes are lacking, the unprocessed material accumulates, leading to tissue damage and eventual failure of organ systems.
Symptoms include decreased vision, changes in behaviour, ataxia, incoordination, lethargy, weakness, tremors, seizures, stiff gait and dementia.

If your dog has already been tested with us for any other genetic test, you can order this test on stored DNA without having to send a new sample.

Test no: 8932
Price: £48.00 including VAT

**** Brindle (kbr) is now solved:****

the genetics of the inheritance of the brindle coat pattern is now solved!!

Brindle dogs exhibit distinctive stripes that distinguish them from solid-coloured or other non-brindled coat patterns. Brindle stripes are typically streaks of colour, often black, interwoven within a red base coat.

The colour of the brindle stripes is eumelanin and the colour of the base is phaeomelanin. This means that brindle stripes are black unless the black is modified by other genes such as blue, brown, lilac, etc. The Red base varies and can be red, yellow, sable, fawn or cream.

After many years of experimentation, it is finally now possible to understand the complex genetics behind the the Brindle coat pattern, and a genetic test is now available at Laboklin.

LABOKLIN is therefore the first and only laboratory in Europe to offer a genetic test that can safely detect the brindle and explain its inheritance.

If you have already tested your dog with us before, you can order the Brindle test on stored DNA.
