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.

  • Breed Specific Legislation Position Statement
    Breed Specific Legislation Position Statement Purpose The purpose of this policy is to state the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainer’s position on the implementation of breed specific legislation. Policy The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) recognizes that dog bites are a serious health issue in the United States and around the world, as well as having a significant impact on the dog training and behavior industry. According to the Centers for Disease Control: In the United States approximately 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs yearly (Gilchrist, Sacks, White, & Kresnow, 2008). Of those 4.5 million approximately 885,000 (1 in 5) seek medical attention for dog bite-related injuries with only around 40% electing to seek care in an emergency room (Gilchrist et al., 2008). Many communities (and some countries) have attempted to address this issue by enacting “breed-specific legislation” that targets certain breeds of dogs believed by some to be more responsible for bites and dog-bite related fatalities than other breeds of dogs. In the current climate, “pit-bull type dogs” that resemble American Pit Bull Terriers, are most commonly singled out for this dubious distinction (Raghavan, Martens, Chateau, & Burchill, 2013). Studies have identified that many factors contribute to a dog’s propensity to bite rather than only the dog’s breed: intact status of the dog; exposures and early experience; socioeconomic factors of the community; and community education to name a few (Sacks, Sinclair, Gilchrist, Golab, & Lockwood, 2000; Shuler, DeBess, Lapidus, & Hedberg, 2008). The “Pit-Bull type” is particularly ambiguous as a “breed,” encompassing a range of pedigree breeds, informal types and appearances that cannot be reliably identified and leaves the potential to be over-reported.

  • The Origin of the Tibetan Mastiff and Species Identification of Canis Based on Mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I (COI) Gene and COI Barcoding
    Animal (2011), 5:12, pp 1868–1873 & The Animal Consortium 2011 animal doi:10.1017/S1751731111001042 The origin of the Tibetan Mastiff and species identification of Canis based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and COI barcoding - - Y. Li 1, X. Zhao2,Z.Pan1, Z. Xie1, H. Liu1,Y.Xu1 and Q. Li1 1College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China; 2College of Animal Science and Technology, State Key Laboratory for Agrobiotechnology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100094, China (Received 28 December 2010; Accepted 24 April 2011; First published online 11 July 2011) DNA barcoding is an effective technique to identify species and analyze phylogenesis and evolution. However, research on and application of DNA barcoding in Canis have not been carried out. In this study, we analyzed two species of Canis, Canis lupus (n 5 115) and Canis latrans (n 5 4), using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene (1545 bp) and COI barcoding (648 bp DNA sequence of the COI gene). The results showed that the COI gene, as the moderate variant sequence, applied to the analysis of the phylogenesis of Canis members, and COI barcoding applied to species identification of Canis members. Phylogenetic trees and networks showed that domestic dogs had four maternal origins (A to D) and that the Tibetan Mastiff originated from Clade A; this result supports the theory of an East Asian origin of domestic dogs. Clustering analysis and networking revealed the presence of a closer relative between the Tibetan Mastiff and the Old English sheepdog, Newfoundland, Rottweiler and Saint Bernard, which confirms that many well-known large breed dogs in the world, such as the Old English sheepdog, may have the same blood lineage as that of the Tibetan Mastiff.

Mickelson1 & C. Drögemüller 2 Published: xx xx xxxx Canine leukoencephalomyelopathy (LEMP) is a juvenile-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the CNS white matter currently described in Rottweiler and Leonberger dogs. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) allowed us to map LEMP in a Leonberger cohort to dog chromosome 18. Subsequent whole genome re-sequencing of a Leonberger case enabled the identifcation of a single private homozygous non-synonymous missense variant located in the highly conserved metallo-beta-lactamase domain of the N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPEPLD) gene, encoding an enzyme of the endocannabinoid system. We then sequenced this gene in LEMP-afected Rottweilers and identifed a diferent frameshift variant, which is predicted to replace the C-terminal metallo-beta-lactamase domain of the wild type protein. Haplotype analysis of SNP array genotypes revealed that the frameshift variant was present in diverse haplotypes in Rottweilers, and also in Great Danes, indicating an old origin of this second NAPEPLD variant. The identifcation of diferent NAPEPLD variants in dog breeds afected by leukoencephalopathies with heterogeneous pathological features, implicates the NAPEPLD enzyme as important in myelin homeostasis, and suggests a novel candidate gene for myelination disorders in people.
