      Summary- Research in Nicaragua's Bosawas Biosphere Reserve showed that male dogs seem to enjoy better success rates than younger and female dogs do. Variables such as age and sex play a big role in finding your good hunting dog. The older the better, as well as the bigger the better. Males tend to always be bigger than female dogs and with having a big dog it's able to track larger prey therefore returning more game and making out for a better hunter.

  • The method of genetic transmission of deafness in dogs is usually not known. There are no recognized forms of sex-linked deafness in dogs, although this does occur in humans.

      So am I reading all this for nothing??
  • Unilaterally deaf dogs cannot be detected by other means, and these dogs will pass on their deafness genes.

  • In the dog, there are 78 chromosomes existing of 39 matched pairs which make up the dog’s “genotype”. On the other hand, the dog’s “phenotype” is what the animal actually looks like and this can be influenced by both environmental and developmental factors. For example, a dog’s adult size is partially determined by his genotype but is also influenced by such factors as health and nutrition as a puppy.

      Dog size depends on the dog's "phenotype". This is influenced by both environmental and developments factors. Such as the heath and the way the dog grew up.

  • Each gene provides the genetic instruction to make one protein or control one function. For example, the genes tell the cell to produce a certain chemical or to produce a specific characteristic like blue eyes.

      Should we come up with a flu vaccine for animals?
  • A group of veterinarians at Oregon State and Iowa State Universities is now looking into the risk of flu for an unexpected population that doesn’t have access to flu shots: dogs, cats and other household pets.

      Good Idea. Great minds think alike.

  • “We worry a lot about zoonoses, the transmission of diseases from animals to people,” said Christiane Loehr, a professor at the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. “But most people don’t realize that humans can also pass diseases to animals, and this raises questions and concerns about mutations, new viral forms and evolving diseases that may potentially be zoonotic. And, of course, there is concern about the health of the animals.”

      If this was put out more, I bet people would take this seriously in America we treat our animals like our childern.
  • H1N1 (“swine flu“) and H5N1 (“bird flu”)
  • The first recorded instance, described in an article published by the team in Veterinary Pathology, took place in Oregon in 2009.

      Look at that article.
  • While a cat owner was hospitalized with H1N1, both of her cats (which stayed indoors and had no contact with other sick people or animals) came down with flu-like symptoms and eventually died. A postmortem analysis of their lungs and nasal cavities turned up the H1N1 virus

      Articles are mainly focusing on H1N1.
  • “It’s reasonable to assume there are many more cases of this than we know about, and we want to learn more,” Loehr said.
  • “Any time you have infection of a virus into a new species, it’s a concern, a black box of uncertainty,” Loehr noted.
  • this news might trigger immediate concern,

      Shouldn't this be on the news then?
  • the flu could be passed from human to pet, mutate into a more dangerous form,
  • “We don’t know for sure what the implications might be, but we do think this deserves more attention.”

    A good question Alexis... I think that people would pay for a flu vaccine for their pets.

      121. Factor VIII deficiency or hemophilia A: the most common severe inherited clotting  disorder of humans and nonhuman animals. Inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait (carried by  females and manifested in males). Affects most dog breeds.

      204a. Muscular dystrophy: a congenital and often inherited form of generalized muscle  dysfunction which causes signs such as poor growth, weakness, abnormal gait, difficulty eating  and swallowing, and muscle atrophy. Affected animals have serious health problems and may  die or be euthanatized. Inheritance is sex-linked in golden retrievers, Irish terriers, Samoyeds,  and Belgian shepherds.
