  • British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme
    British Veterinary Association / Kennel Club Hip Dysplasia Scheme Breed Specific Statistics – 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2016 Hip scores should be considered along with other criteria as part of a responsible breeding programme, and it is recommended that breeders choose breeding stock with hip scores around and ideally below the breed median score, depending on the level of HD in the breed. HD status of parents, siblings and progeny for Kennel Club registered dogs should also be considered, and these together with a three generation Health Test Pedigree may be downloaded via the Health Test Results Finder, available on the Kennel Club’s online health tool Mate Select (www.mateselect.org.uk). In addition, estimated breeding values (EBVs) are available for breeds in which a significant number of dogs have been graded, via the same link. For further advice on the interpretation and use of hip scores see www.bva.co.uk/chs The breed median score is the score of the ‘average’ dog in that breed (i.e. an equal number of dogs in that breed have better and worse scores).

Reproductive efficiency was measured in terms of birth weight of puppies, liter size and neonatal mortality. The overall mean birth weight of Mudhol Hound puppies was determined as 458 ± 0.18 g and ranged between 415 to 479 g which was similar to the birth weight reported for medium sized dogs. The male puppies in both the groups were weighed significantly higher (479.11 ± 3.44 g vs. 437.00 ± 5.47; 450.11± 3.44 vs. 415.00 ± 4.47) than new born female puppies. The pups from dogs maintained on homemade diet had significantly lower birth weight with significantly (p<0.05) higher prevalence of neonatal mortality (7.24% vs.15.79%) compared to scientific feeding system.

  • THE LIVES of DOMESTIC DOGS (CANIS AFRICANIS) in BOTSWANA Alice Hovorka1 and Lauren Van Patte2
    Pula: Botswana Journal of African Studies Vol. 31(1), 2017 THE LIVES OF DOMESTIC DOGS (CANIS AFRICANIS) IN BOTSWANA Alice Hovorka1 and Lauren Van Patte2 Abstract The objective of this study is to document the roles, value, circumstances, and welfare management of domestic dogs (Canis Africanis) in Greater Maun, Botswana. Findings based on interviews with sixty participants, as well as key informant interviews and participant observation, reveal high incidence of dog ownership with dogs primarily used as guardians and companions at rural villages, cattle posts and urban homesteads. Dogs are particularly valued for their obedience to and security offered owners. Participants care for their dogs by providing them with food, allowing them free access to areas outside of homesteads, and accessing medical attention when necessary. Participants were pleased with veterinary care, sterilization and vaccination services provided by the local animal welfare organization and urge government to become more involved in dog- related services, laws and education for community members. Analysis of these findings reveals emerging trends related to changing dog roles, urbanization, regulation, and breeding are re- orienting dog roles and circumstances, as well as welfare management needs. Ultimately, this study establishes baseline data regarding human-dog relations and is positioned to inform community development and animal welfare efforts in Botswana. Key words: Dogs, roles, welfare, human-dog relations INTRODUCTION Free-roaming domestic dogs are ubiquitous in rural, peri-urban and urban areas throughout Southern Africa. Originally understood as the ‘mongrel progeny of settler dogs’ (Swart 2003:194), recent arguments posit that they are direct descendants of the Arabian wolf, domesticated 7000 years ago in Northern Africa and the Middle East (Gaubert et al.
