Phenotypic and Morphometric Characterization of Janwal Pashmi Dog

This study assessed breeding value estimation methods for Korean Sapsaree dogs, finding varied accuracy across BLUP approaches and identifying significant genomic regions affecting traits like body height and hair length. The researchers suggest these findings can enhance breeding strategies for this culturally significant breed.

This study found that Pomeranian dogs with a woolly coat type and male dogs had a higher risk of developing Alopecia X in the Netherlands and Belgian regions studied.

This study identified significant differences in medullary structure, hair length, and root diameter among dorsal guard hairs of red foxes, golden jackals, and gray wolves in Turkey.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

This study explored the genetics of inherited developmental defects in dogs and identified novel mutations affecting traits like caudal dysplasia, ectodermal dysplasia, and mucopolysaccharidosis VII, suggesting dogs as models to study human diseases.
