In reference to your query......RSV2000 .:. German Shepherd lines are genetically different
Those are Finnish shepherds, it would be interesting to see a study of how those are different from German lines and American lines.
Yes, that would be very interesting. Ever since I started looking into purebred dogdom (which has been a very recent phenomena), I thought that the AKC was sitting on a huge untapped opportunity to monetize the data set they currently have, or could dictate receiving as part of the registration process. And, I suspect, if they were to move in that direction, they could off-set their dependence on registration fees which have, IMO, led them down the path of being an obstacle to healthy breeding programs.
There's a few more you left out: Ignorance, mismatching of species, breeding for color, breeding the largest to the largest, angulation preferences, the list could continue but I love my dog, flaw's included. It's not her fault of human intervention. Let's go for a walk, it's daybreak in CA. :wild: You know how I know it's daybreak, the bird's outside my window are singing !
Finnish Shepherds ??? Yes, the study took place in Finland and used 62 GSDs from Finland but is a "Finnish Shepherd" a variation?... or simply transplanted dogs from somewhere else in Europe?
Good morning David !!,
IDK, :laugh: I'm a pet person. I know there are Czech lines, West German lines, DDR lines, Swiss lines, American lines..... I guess I was just assuming there was a Fin line.
