  • I I I I I I I I Patterns of Gene Flow in Eurasia Do Not Explain LD Decay In
    i i \SupplementalFigures_v3" | 2015/10/1 | 11:53 | page 1 | #1 i i Patterns of gene flow in Eurasia do not explain LD decay in Central Asia Gene flow clearly occurs in dogs, with population structure exhibiting isolation by distance everywhere, and admixture with European dogs in particular regions. Using f3 admixture statistics, we find that indeed all Old World populations geographically intermediate between two other populations appear to be genetically intermediate as well, consistent with this model of bidirectional gene flow (Table S1). As Central Asia is a population intermediate between regions previously implicated in genetic theories of dog origins (East Asia and Middle East / Europe), we used ms simulations 1 (Table S2) to examine the effect of gene flow on central and peripheral populations to ensure that the intermediate position of Central Asia within Eurasia was not driving a spurious signature of a domestication origin in the LD decay data. We explored two alternate models (Fig S1). In the first, dogs arise in a single population; this population splits as dogs move westward (serial founder model). The non-founder populations each experience a bottleneck as they split off. Gene flow then occurs between the centrally located population (Population 2) and both the founder population (Population 1) and the most diverged population (Population 3). This is the pattern we would expect in Eurasia if dogs were from South East Asia and then had spread west (or were from Europe or the Middle East, and spread east). In the second model, dogs originate in a central population, two populations branch off from the central populations and after going through a bottleneck both the Eastern and Western population experience gene flow with the central population.

They were initially domesticated by the Chukchi -an ancient population that thrived by herding reindeer and moving with each season to new grazing regions. They came to America in 1909 and found their place in the Alaskan wilderness. They love to be out in cold weather and are known to be the ideal sled dog. They have strong insulated paws that are perfect for traction in the snow. The Siberian Husky also has two layers in their coat that protects them from Arctic winters.

    American Breeds Rat Terrier: Joining the Terrier group on June 26, 2013, the Rat Terrier comes in two sizes – standard and miniature. Originally used to hunt rodents and vermin, the breed was one of the most common farm dogs from 1910-1930 in the U.S. They are loyal and active and love being a member of its human family. Alaskan Malamute: The official state dog of Alaska, the Alaskan Malamute is the largest and oldest of the Arctic sled dogs. The breed possesses great endurance and can carry large loads over great distances. Alaskan Malamutes are athletic and need daily exercise. American English Coonhound: Comparable to a well-conditioned athlete, the American English Coonhound is an avid hunter known for its tremendous speed and loud voice. Originally these hounds were used to hunt fox by day and raccoon by night in the American colonies. American Eskimo Dog: The American Eskimo Dog performed regularly in trick-dog acts in traveling circuses around the country in the 19th century. Today, the breed is primarily a family companion and an excellent watchdog. They learn quickly and require daily exercise. American Foxhound: Truly an American breed, George Washington is the father of the American Foxhound. These dogs were bred to run, so they do best with families that have large open spaces and can provide them with daily exercise. American Staffordshire Terrier: The American Staffordshire Terrier is courageous and intelligent. The breed is very people- oriented and does best as part of a family. They are loyal dogs and thrive when given a job to do.

  • Alaskan Malamutes: What a Unique Breed! PET MEDICAL CENTER
    Alaskan Malamutes: What a Unique Breed! Your dog is special! She's your best friend, companion, and a source of unconditional love. Chances are that you chose her because you like Mals and you expected her to have certain traits that would fit your lifestyle: An affectionate companion and family dog Outgoing and friendly personality Good with children Playful and energetic Loyal and loving companion Large, strong, and athletic, with lots of stamina in cooler climates However, no dog is perfect! You may have also noticed these characteristics: Needs a lot of activity and mental stimulation to avoid boredom vices Early obedience training and socialization is recommended Needs to be brushed regularly to keep coat mat-free Likes to dig Sees cats and small animals as prey unless trained otherwise Is it all worth it? Of course! She's full of personality, and you love her for it! She loves her daily exercise, but also enjoys just hanging out with her family. Mals are very vocal and may howl, but they don’t bark a lot. Alaskan Malamutes are the largest and oldest of the Arctic Sled dogs. Originating over 4000 years ago, Mals were kept by the Mahlemuts, an Inuit Tribe in Alaska. They are known for their stamina, not their speed, when pulling heavy sled loads. Alaskan Malamutes are a relatively healthy breed with an average lifespan of 12 years. PET MEDICAL CENTER 501 E.
