a SNP map and an understanding of the haplotype structure, and now genome-wide SNP genotyping arrays make it possible to carry out whole-genome trait mapping.Trait-mapping strategies that are possible in dogs include genome-wide association mapping, quantitative trait loci mapping, across-breed mapp...
If you are going to use a boarding or doggy day care facility, use one that provides the dogs with structured exercise if possible. To put is simply; putting a lot of dogs with pent up energy in the same place with no structure or authority is asking for trouble. Boarding facilities are...
