Explore the fascinating ways dog breeds continue to evolve through genetic influences. Coat Length The fluffy Afghan Hound ...

Quick Take Dog breeding genetics explain how dominant, additive, and recessive genes shape traits and disease risk in litters. Outcrossing expands the gene pool and lowers recessive disease risk, ...

Greenland sled dogs can trace their origins back nearly 10,000 years. In a new study published July 10 in the journal Science, paleogeneticists mapped the path of these culturally important canines ...

Following my May 2022 post about Elinor Karlsson’s Science article on the genetic survey of dogs through the Darwin’s Ark project, and its conclusion that a dog’s breed does not predict its behavior, ...

If you look closely at the Indian wolf-dog and the Australian dingo, there are a lot of similarities between the two, and they both look quite similar. Apart from the similarity in their physical ...

Humans began selectively breeding dogs around 2,000 years ago, and these genes play a role in your pup's behavior, a new study of 4,000 purebred, mixed-breed and wild dogs finds. When you purchase ...

Popular genetics tests can’t tell you much about your dog’s personality, according to a recent study. A team of geneticists recently found no connection between simple genetic variants and behavioral ...

Radiation-induced mutation is unlikely to have induced genetic differences between dog populations in Chornobyl City and the nearby Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), according to a new study in ...
