About This File

Pr. Zeev Trainin discusses the domestication of dogs and breed formation/development since the mid-19th century involving Breed Standards and dog shows. 

"To develop the show type, selection became focused on aesthetics through often excessive inbreeding, with little attention to long-term consequences, resulting occasionally in health impairments and genetic disorders."

 

"To acknowledge a problem is half the way toward solving it. Select against genetic disorders, increasing the breeding stock, and in specific cases using crossing between varieties, constitute options that may lead to the improvement of the situation. With the new tool of advanced molecular genetics, breeders have a golden opportunity to produce healthy, well-shaped dogs capable of functioning for the benefit of dog and man."
