DIAGNOSIS
- Pedigree investigation
- Test- mating
- Laboratory, eg. urine
- Clinical, eg. X-ray
- Molecular genetic (DNA)
Dog domestication, Microevolutionary consequences and their relatives. Interspecies hybrids
DOMESTICATION
> 15 000 BC
EUROPE/ EAST ASIA
Grey Wolf
Dog domestication, Microevolutionary consequences and their relatives. Interspecies hybrids
MICRO-EVOLUTIONARY CONSEQUENCES
- Highly selective breeding & natural adaptation to various climate
- Conditions led to the emergence of numerous forms of dogs.
- EXTREEME DIVERSITY and variations of breeds are unique among domestic animals.
- Size and Body mass: 1-100kg : Small, medium, large
- Headshape: Brachycephallic, long: Round-, long and square shaped heads.
- Ear shape/length, Tail shape/length
- Coat type/length
- Chromosome nr: 2n = 78
No polymorphism among canine species
Dog domestication, Microevolutionary consequences and their relatives. Interspecies hybrids
INTERSPECIES HYBRIDS
Offsprings of both sexes fertile
Wolf * Dog
Labrador * Poodle = Labradoodle
Basics of canine breeding (goals, use, conformation, judging, breeding methods)
GOAL
- Is to increase common genetic ratio by 50%
- Preservation, fixation of desired trait
Basics of canine breeding (goals, use, conformation, judging, breeding methods)
GOAL- Prequisite
- Prepotent male as a line-founder
- Healthy sires free of genetic defects
- Regular selection is unaviodable
- Result in father-offspring resemblance and their substitution is possible.
