Inbreeding and Ancestor Loss in the Population of Tatra Shepherd Dogs Based on the Sex and Breeding System
Acta Sci. Pol. Zootechnica 19(2) 2020, 47–54 www.asp.zut.edu.pl pISSN 1644-0714 eISSN 2300-6145 DOI:10.21005/asp.2020.19.2.06 Received: 15.04.2020 ORIGINAL PAPER Accepted: 20.06.2020 INBREEDING AND ANCESTOR LOSS IN THE POPULATION OF TATRA SHEPHERD DOGS BASED ON THE SEX AND BREEDING SYSTEM Edyta Sweklej, Roman Niedziółka Q Institute of Zootechnics and Fisheries, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, Bolesława Prusa 14, 08-110 Siedlce, Poland ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to analyse the structure of the population and inbreeding trend taking into account the sex, breeding system. The highest number of kennels, that was, 40 were registered in the Lesser Poland voivodeship, in the region of Podhale, which corresponded to 33.06%. For a 4-generation population, the inbreeding rate was 6.52% for male dogs and 6.79% for female dogs. The highest inbreeding rate was found in a nCH and PL groups consisting of both male and female dogs. The inbreeding rate was significantly higher in 2005–2014, amounting to 6.94% for male dogs and 8.22% for female dogs in comparison to the period 1994–2004 when it was 5.87% and 4.88%, respectively. An increasing ancestor loss coefficient (AVK) was found, which may result in an increased number of inbred animals. In particular, it referred to female dogs in the nCH, PL, and Z group, whereas a significant increase of AVK was observed in the group of male dogs from foreign kennels. Studies had shown that there was no risk of inbred depression yet; however, the gene pool of the Tatra Shepherd dog breed had become noticeably restricted. -

Collie Eye Anomaly in Australian Kelpie Dogs in Poland Natalia Kucharczyk1, Anna Cislo-Pakuluk1 and Peter Bedford2*
Kucharczyk et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2019) 15:392 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-019-2143-y CASE REPORT Open Access Collie Eye Anomaly in Australian Kelpie dogs in Poland Natalia Kucharczyk1, Anna Cislo-Pakuluk1 and Peter Bedford2* Abstract Background: To report the occurrence of choroidal hypoplasia in the Australian Kelpie breed in Poland, the affected dogs testing positive for the Collie Eye Anomaly NHEJ1 gene mutation. Case presentations: Choroidal hypoplasia (CH) was initially diagnosed in a young female Australian Kelpie presented for routine ophthalmological examination prior to breeding. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed tigroid fundi bilaterally with areas of abnormally arranged choroidal vasculature temporal to the optic disc. These lesions had the appearance of the choroidal hypoplasia diagnostic for Collie Eye Anomaly, a genetically determined disease seen most commonly in Collie types. The DNA based test for the NHEJ1 gene mutation that is confirmatory for Collie Eye Anomaly proved the dog to be homozygous for this mutation. Twenty one other related dogs were subsequently examined genetically, the dam proving to be affected and eight others were shown to be carriers. Conclusions: This report demonstrates that Collie Eye Anomaly is present in a Polish bred Australian Kelpie line and as such breeders in this country and those importing dogs or semen internationally should be aware of other possible cases. Keywords: Australian Kelpie, Choroidal hypoplasia, Collie Eye Anomaly, NHEJ1 gene Background and intraocular haemorrhage are also described, but Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) is a congenital canine pleo- although potentially blinding, these features are of low in- morphic ocular disease characterized by two main lesions, cidence [1–5]. -
