| Description: | If you wish to breed from your bitch or use your dog to sire a litter, there are a lot of different considerations to bear in mind! First of all, you should critically assess the quality and temperament of your own dog, and that of their potential mate, ensure that there is a demand for their prospective litter, and do everything that you can to ensure that the dogs that you mate, and their subsequent litter, will be healthy. This may mean using DNA tests or other forms of pre-breeding health screening to check for any health conditions or hereditary flaws prior to mating, but the genetics of mating dogs goes much further than just future health and health conditions! The match of dog and bitch chosen for mating will also determine factors such as the colouring, temperament, size and quality of the puppies, and this is something that professional breeders consider carefully, in order to ensure the progression and ongoing improvement of their future blood lines. In this article, we will look at the basic genetics behind mating and reproduction, and how the match between dog and bitch affect the health, appearance and temperament of the puppies. Read on to learn more about canine genetics as they relate to breeding. An introduction to canine genetics Dogs carry a total of 39 chromosomes compared to humans, who have 46, and each chromosome is a package containing DNA information about different elements of the dog. Chromosomes come in pairs, of which one half of each pair is inherited from the dam and one the sire, and an additional, or anomalous chromosome can lead to various problems and conditions such as Downs Syndrome in people. Each pair of chromosomes works in combination with each other, and other chromosome pairs too, to determine the traits that the dog possesses, and then, the combination of chromosomal traits of both the dam and the sire in turn, determine the traits of the puppies.
