While 51 alleles have been reported, estimates of prevalence have not been made. We hypothesized that, within a breed, DLA-88 diversity would be restricted, and one or more dominant alleles could be identified. Accordingly, we determined allele usage in 47 Golden Retrievers and 39 Boxers. In each population, 10 alleles were found; 4 were shared. Seven novel alleles were identified. DLA-88*05101 and *50801 predominated in Golden Retrievers, while most Boxers carried *03401. In these breeds DLA-88 polymorphisms are limited and largely non-overlapping. The finding of highly prevalent alleles fulfills an important prerequisite for studying canine CD8+ T- cell responses.

  • L'irish Wolfhound : « Il Est Beaucoup Plus Fort Que Notre Mâtin Et Il Est Très Rare En France
    www.wolfhound.ch L’IRISH WOLFHOUND Par Harry Walker. Publication originale dans le LOS VI, 1896. De l'allemand par Suzanne DUBOIS. « Gentle when stroked, fierce when provoked » Si je l’entreprends de publier les lignes suivantes sur une race, qui était, jusqu’à présent, presque inconnue sur le continent et qui a réapparue en Angleterre il y a récemment seulement, je le fais parce que je suis convaincu que l’Irish Wolfhound mérite – pour ses brillantes qualités et son apparence imposante – d’être mieux connu. Je pense que notre pays en particulier, avec ses montagnes, son climat humide et rude, était spécialement approprié pour cette race qui supporte facilement tous les changements de climats ; chez nous, ces chiens pourraient être élevés jusqu’à une perfection et taille presque impossibles à égaliser ailleurs. Etant donné que je possède cette race depuis une année seulement et que j’ai élevé une seule portée, j’ai peu d’expérience moi-même et je dois me limiter à ce que j’ai lu dans la littérature anglaise sur ces chiens et à ce que d’excellents éleveurs anglais m’ont raconté personellement. Malgré le fait que l’Irish Wolfhound est bien l’une des races les plus anciennes, il y a encore des opinions divisées en ce qui concerne son apparence et son poil. Le seul fait partagé unanimement est qu’il s’agit d’un animal colossal, d’une puissance et d’un courage extraordinaires, un chien qui a été tenu en haute estime comme protecteur de personnes et de propriétés, ainsi que comme chasseur de bêtes sauvages.

  • Data Packet 2C: St
    ModelSim Evolution 2014v3.0- Center for Connected Learning at Northwestern University Student Data Packet Data Packet 2C: St. Benard and Molosser Breeds reduced text and reformatted layout from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Bernard_(dog) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molosser The St. Bernard is a breed of very large working dog from the Italian and Swiss Alps, originally bred for rescue. The breed has become famous through tales of alpine rescues, as well as for its enormous size. Appearance The St. Bernard is a giant dog. The average weight of the breed is between 140 and 264 lb. (64–120 kg) or more and the approximate height is 27½ inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm). The coat can be either smooth or rough, with the smooth coat close and flat. The rough coat is dense but flat, and more profuse around the neck and legs. The coat is typically a red color with white, or sometimes a mahogany brindle with white. Black shading is usually found on the face and ears. The tail is long and heavy, hanging low eyes should have naturally tight lids, with "haws only slightly visible". The eyes are usually brown, but sometimes can be icy blue. St. Bernards were exported to England in the mid-19th century, where they were bred with mastiffs to create an even larger dog. Plinlimmon, a famous St. Bernard of the time, was measured at 95 kg (210 lbs.) and 87.5 cm (34.5 in), and was sold to an American for $7000.[9] Commercial pressure encouraged breeding ever-larger dogs until "the dogs became so gross that they had difficulties in getting from one end of a show ring to another".
