In humans, 771 types of skeletal dysplasia have been documented. Similar forms of these disorders have also been observed in dogs. The first cases of documented skeletal dysplasia in Dalmatian dogs were reported in the early 1980s, with additional affected dogs observed in subsequent years. Careful radiological and histopathological examinations at the time revealed severe limb deformities, including shortened radii and ulnae, irregular growth plates and disrupted endochondral ossification. In this study, we applied whole-genome sequencing on samples collected in 1992 and identified a genetic variant in the\n                    <jats:italic>PRKG2<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene, introducing a premature stop codon (XM_038582312: c.1601T\u2009&gt;\u2009G, p.L534X). Genetic variants in\n                    <jats:italic>PRKG2<\/jats:italic>\n                    have previously been implicated in human acromesomelic dysplasia, a disorder affecting limb growth in young children. The\n                    <jats:italic>PRKG2<\/jats:italic>\n                    -encoded protein plays a crucial role in endochondral ossification, and if translated, the identified nonsense variant would result in a truncated protein lacking most of the catalytic domain. Extended screening of the genetic variant revealed its continued segregation in the current Dalmatian population. Furthermore, three recent cases of dwarfism in Dalmatians were found to be homozygous for the identified\n                    <jats:italic>PRKG2<\/jats:italic>\n                    nonsense variant. These findings provide compelling evidence for the role of\n                    <jats:italic>PRKG2<\/jats:italic>\n                    in Dalmatian dwarfism, resolving a decades-old genetic mystery in
