Living dogs were simultaneously working with each other alongside humans to sustain life in the Arctic and, among some communities in Kamchatka, being tended to as a future source of fur. As the fur was expertly fashioned into warm clothes it may have acted as a reminder of the owner-dog ...
The enigmatic origins of dog domestication (as well as feralized descendants such as the dingo) are discussed, including phases of domestication that we might infer, and our historical knowledge of dog breeding. Emphasized by the morphological and genetic data are the forces of selection, both ...
Thousands of years (21) humans began the process of domesticating the dog and shaping what "being a dog" really means. Through careful selection and breeding, an astonishing variety of dog breeds (22) been created. Desirable traits have been selected for in various breeds that are of a benef...
Great strides are being made in veterinary research to identify genetic defects and thereby assist breeders to select the best breeding stock. By eliminating from theirgene poolthose dogs with genetic abnormalities, breeders can help ensure that the breed remains healthy andviable. ...

A better understanding of growth curves for dog guides may aid in estimating mature weight at a young age, thus allowing earlier breeding and training decisions to be made and increasing genetic change per year. 展开 关键词: Growth Curve Dogs Body Weight ...
However they can still survive and reproduce because humans provide them with the conditions to do so. Breeding of extreme traits can also compromise the dogs' abilities to act naturally, and hereditary diseases will become more and more common.
