  • Canine Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia SCVS
    Canine Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia What are platelets and what do they do? Platelets are a component of blood. Platelets are made in the bone marrow and are required to form blood clots and stop bleeding. Without them, severe bruising or bleeding can result. Primary hemostasis is the initial clotting that takes place after trauma to a blood vessel; this is completed by platelets Secondary hemostasis is the stabilization and organization of the blood clot; this is completed by coagulation proteins and is required for a clot to stay intact White blood cells and Red blood cells are the other blood cells; white cells fight infection as part of the immune system; red cells carry oxygen to internal organs What is immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP)? ITP is a disease in which the immune system reacts against platelets just as it would against a foreign bacteria or virus. When this happens, platelets are destroyed, and bleeding or bruising often results. This often results in anemia and leads to a number of common clinical signs. If left untreated, death can result. Anemia is a low red cell count Thrombocytopenia is a low platelet count; it can result from a number of potential causes Evans’ syndrome is the combined immune mediated destruction of red blood cells and platelets What causes ITP? The causes of ITP are still not well understood. ITP can result from a primary immune system problem or result secondary to some other condition . Primary ITP is associated with certain breeds and is presumed to have a genetic component. Diseases that have been associated with ITP include cancerous, inflammatory, and infectious disease.

  • The Cocker Spaniel by Sharon Barnhill
    The Cocker Spaniel By Sharon Barnhill Breed standards Size: Shoulder height: 38 - 41 cm (15 - 16.5 inches). Weight is around 29 lbs. Coat: Hair is smooth and medium length. Character: This dog is intelligent, cheerful, lively and affectionate. Temperament: Cocker Spaniels get along well with children, other dogs, and any household pets. Training: Training must be consistent but not overly firm, as the dog is quite willing to learn. Activity: Two or three walks a day are sufficient. However, this breed needs to run freely in the countryside on occasion. Most of them love to swim. Cocker spaniel refers to two modern breeds of dogs of the spaniel dog type: the American Cocker Spaniel and the English Cocker Spaniel, both of which are commonly called simply Cocker Spaniel in their countries of origin. It was also used as a generic term prior to the 20th century for a small hunting Spaniel. Cocker spaniels were originally bred as hunting dogs in the United Kingdom, with the term "cocker" deriving from their use to hunt the Eurasian Woodcock. When the breed was brought to the United States it was bred to a different standard which enabled it to specialize in hunting the American Woodcock. Further physical changes were bred into the cocker in the United States during the early part of the 20th century due to the preferences of breeders. Spaniels were first mentioned in the 14th century by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn in his work the Livre de Chasse. The "cocking" or "cocker spaniel" was first used to refer to a type of field or land spaniel in the 19th century.

  • The English Cocker at Home and Abroad It's Journey Down the Centuries As a Spaniel, a Cocker and Finally a Recognized Breed
    The English Cocker At Home and Abroad Geraldine R. Dodge It’s journey down the centuries as a Spaniel, a Cocker and finally a recognized breed. Mrs. Dodge (1882 – 1973) was the first Honorary Member of the ECSCA. Before this, however, she had held every office in the Club and was one of its original founders. She can be considered the patron and protector of the breed in the U.S.A. as it was through her efforts and sponsorship of extensive research into pedigrees which convinced the American Kennel Club to grant the English Cocker Spaniel separate breed status in its Stud Book late in 1946 at a time when the American Cocker was at the height of its popularity. She imported many excellent specimens which helped strengthen the breed in this country, and many of her “Giralda” English Cockers served as foundations for other kennels. Copyright, 1952, by Geraldine R. Dodge To the neophyte and the casual observer the English Cocker Spaniel has remained something of a mystery. To many of the more seasoned fanciers he may have seemed like an interloper – here comes a Cocker Spaniel nosing his way in where already there is another perfectly good Cocker Spaniel! We might have answered like the man who said “No thank you,” he didn’t need that book because he had a book. But of course there are different books on the same subject, just as there are different breeds from the same rootstock, and in truth we need them all. In order to understand whence came the English Cocker, let us go back to the original Spaniel, one of the oldest families of the dog world mainly responsible for the sporting gundogs of the day.

Dobson Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 OES, UK Correspondence should be addressed to Jane M.

Dobson. is is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Cancer is a common problem in dogs and although all breeds of dog and crossbred dogs may be affected, it is notable that some breeds of pedigree dogs appear to be at increased risk of certain types of cancer suggesting underlying genetic predisposition to cancer susceptibility. Although the aetiology of most cancers is likely to be multifactorial, the limited genetic diversity seen in purebred dogs facilitates genetic linkage or association studies on relatively small populations as compared to humans, and by using newly developed resources, genome-wide association studies in dog breeds are proving to be a powerful tool for unravelling complex disorders. is paper will review the literature on canine breed susceptibility to histiocytic sarcoma, osteosarcoma, haemangiosarcoma, mast cell tumours, lymphoma, melanoma, and mammary tumours including the recent advances in knowledge through molecular genetic, cytogenetic, and genome wide association studies. 1.

  • Prevailing Clusters of Canine Behavioural Traits in Historical US Demand for Dog Breeds (1926–2005)
    animals Article Prevailing Clusters of Canine Behavioural Traits in Historical US Demand for Dog Breeds (1926–2005) Bethany Wilson 1,*, James Serpell 2, Harold Herzog 3 and Paul McGreevy 1 1 Sydney School of Veterinary Science, Faculty of Science, University of Sydney, Sydney 2006, Australia; [email protected] 2 School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19131, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Psychology, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC 28723, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-7-3907-0998 Received: 4 October 2018; Accepted: 2 November 2018; Published: 6 November 2018 Simple Summary: The popularity of various breeds of dog and, by extension, the ancestors of at least a portion of the crossbred population varies over time. As pedigree dogs tend to exhibit breed-specific behaviour, the loads of both adaptive and less adaptive canine behaviours within society might also be expected to vary with trends in popularity, assuming that a breed in decline is not always replaced by increasing demand for a new similarly tempered breed. Using average breed behaviours from a large online survey of dog behaviour, we organised 82 pedigree breeds into six clusters and tracked the absolute and relative numbers of American Kennel Club registrations of breeds in these behaviour clusters in 1926–2005. Our data show that there is lability in the demand for breeds of the six behavioural clusters over time. Regardless of whether behavioural differences are causative of changes in demand or merely a consequence of it, changes in the types of behaviour in the pedigree population have implications for urban planning, the demand for dog training and veterinary behavioural services and the nature of human–canine interactions.

Such results are not included in accuracy calculations. ® WHAT DOES THE MIXED BREED ANCESTOR MEAN FOR MY DOG? We have identified for you the 5 next best breed matches which appeared in the analysis of your dog's DNA. One or more of these breeds could have contributed to the genetic makeup of the ancestors indicated by the mixed breed icon. The breeds are listed by the relative strength of each result in our analysis with the most likely at the top of the list.
