If one were to take a survey asking, “Why did you purchase a Rottweiler”, “Why this breed over others”, it would
certainly elicit intriguing answers. I cannot say for sure what the attraction others had to the Rottweiler when first
encountered, however for me, it was his raw masculine appeal, his unique head and the impressive musculature and
power he exuded. From his appearance, one could easily understand that this was a serious dog! Not alone in this view,
many other Rottweiler aficionados have recognized this hallmark of the breed and expressed a similar perspective as
well. After all, is not the “look” of a dog that makes the first and lasting impression? Surely, his breed type is what
makes the Rottweiler unique.
The Germans understood the Rottweiler’s distinction when they came together to codify the standard at Heidelburg,
Germany in 1907. They were deliberate when articulating and fixing the appearance of the Rottweiler, which is why
the standard uses detailed language in its description of this essential aspect of breed type. The standard was modified
since 1907, but the general appearance of the Rottweiler has not. Reading the current standard, one finds the word
“powerful” written 6 times, “bone” mentioned 3 times and “muscle” mentioned 5 times. No other words have such
repetition when describing the details.
Excerpts from the standard:
“The ideal Rottweiler is a medium large, robust and powerful dog - Dogs are characteristically more massive
throughout with larger frame and heavier bone than bitches - His bone and muscle mass must be sufficient to
balance his frame, giving a compact and very powerful appearance - Neck- Powerful, well muscled - Loin is
short, deep and well muscled - Legs are strongly developed with straight, heavy bone – Upper thigh is fairly
long, very broad and well muscled - Lower thigh is long, broad and powerful, with extensive muscling - His
movement should be balanced, harmonious, sure, powerful and unhindered, with strong forereach and a
powerful rear drive ”
Despite his distinctive breed type and the words used in the blueprint to describe it, a negative, subtle change has
occurred over the years, which ultimately is disastrous to his appearance. Currently in the US, which is observable
both in the show-ring and out, is a great loss in the general power of the breed’s masculine design. Now, a rarity and
oddity, the once major factor in the breed’s appeal, its power and substance, is on the “back burner” in many breeding
programs. One must look carefully to find this trait; the breed has lost its distinction.
On the street, we encounter Rottweilers that are a poor representation of once was. They possess pin heads, narrow,
snipey muzzles, spindly bones, no muscle mass and shallow frames. To the knowledgeable, these Rottweilers appear to
be a mix breeding, although they are not. To the unknowledgeable, they appear to be correct! In the show-ring, this
problem has crossed the boundaries. One should expect poor examples of the breed on the street since they are
comprised of non-show dogs. However, the show- ring should be the exception. Presently, exhibits share the same
problem of their street cousins and are only a notch or two above. Many exhibits that enter the show-ring are
constructed well but are also as weak in substance, spindly in bones and m u s - culture like their pet counterparts.
Now, when a dog or bitch that is in the ring with correct breed type, exuding power and substance, it appears as the
“odd man out”. A strong masculine dog or powerful bitch seems strange among exhibits with spindly frail bodies and
Doberman- like heads. To the newbie's and unknowledgeable judges, it is untypical and put at the end of the line.
Often, I have heard that a female, which possesses strong bones, muscle and a powerful head, is now deemed “too
strong” and considered a “doggy bitch”. What was once correct and typical is now abnormal. The dogs, which should
embody power and masculinity, are now so weak in type they can be considered “beautiful females”!
WHAT ARE CORRECT BONES AND MUSCLES?
The standard does not give a numerical value for the appropriate bone mass or muscle, only a verbal guide. Therefore,
to state a formula, “Dog x must have y amount of bone and muscle to be correct is not possible.” To understand what is
appropriate for the correct amount for these attributes, one must refer to the blueprint. From the standard: “His bone
and muscle mass must be sufficient to balance his frame, giving a compact and very powerful appearance.”
A reasonable guide when assessing an exhibit, one should ask, “Does this exhibit exemplify a powerful appearance?” “Is the bone and muscle mass substantial, so that its appearance exudes power?” One should be impressed with the
overall appearance for power, muscle and bones.
A. BONE MASS
Bones mass should be thick enough in width so that it appears to support the frame of the dog in a substantial and
powerful manner, without being refined, elegant, too massive or grotesque. The place to visually assess the bone mass on
a Rottweiler, correct or incorrect, is the thickness in the radius/ ulna and humorous. When making an evaluation, the dog
is presented “head on” so that the full width of the chest (from East to West) can be seen. If a numerical evaluation for the
thickness of the bones is desired, it is measured by using a tape measure and wrapping it around the circumference of the
pastern (see Fig.1). Here is where the least amount of skin, muscle and tendon can be found. Correct bone mass is
correlated to the height. The taller the dog, the more bone mass it should possess, compared to dogs of lesser height.
Additionally, bone mass should always be proportion- ate and balanced to the frame of the dog. “Out of balance” is not
correct. Good examples of this are the extremes. They are exhibited when a tall dog possess long, fine bones of the
radius/ulna and humorous, giving the appearance of spindles, or when a short dog possesses too strong bone mass
appearing like “tree trunks”. These dogs are “out of balance”. The Rottweiler is not a St. Bernard or a Doberman.
B. MUSCLE MASS
The general muscle mass should be substantial, well defined and in proportion to the frame of the dog so that it exudes
strength, masculinity and athleticism. The muscles should be apparent, yet not overpowering, like the Bull and Pit Bull
Terriers. The muscle groups that comprise this “appearance” are the muscles of the front and rear assembly. In the front
assembly, the muscles of the shoulders, the upper arm and forearm should be well developed and obvious. These muscle
groups are the Deltoids, Biceps, Triceps and the Extensor muscles of the radius/ulna. In the rear assembly, the muscles of
the Gluteus and Biceps Femoris should be well developed and defined. Viewing the rear muscles from the back, the depth
and width of the Biceps Femoris and Gluteus should be full, supporting the Femur. Here is where all forward locomotion
begins.
C. THE CORRELATION OF MUSCLE AND BONE
With human body-building, the muscles can be developed, shaped and improved, with discipline, hard work, good
nutrition and much sweat. However, improvement has limits, since body-building is dependent upon the size, mass of the
muscle groups and bone substance. In essence, “you are what you inherited”. The thin framed, fine boned man or woman
will always work harder and strain longer to build bulk and definition in the muscle tissue. With this body type, a major
factor is bone mass! Strong bone mass is supported by thick muscles. The same principles hold true for the Rottweiler.
Dogs and bitches that are fine boned possess muscles, which are light in their mass and often show little or no definition.
This type, will always work very hard to make strides improving and developing what it inherited from the pedigree.
Conversely, there are those dogs/bitches, which impress us with their natural well developed musculature and powerful
bone mass. Their musculature is correlated to their robust bone mass.
BREED TYPE IS A STEPCHILD
Why is the great majority of Rottweilers here in the states, (especially in the show-ring), not uniformly masculine in type
with powerful muscle and bones, which is specified in the standard? Why have they become slight in bone, shallow in
substance, and soft in appearance? The answer is breed type has become a stepchild. In the US, the accent is on the best
possible construction demonstrated by superior gait. Those dogs, which display this attribute, are the ones that win in the
show-ring. Placing the accent on this attribute is both good and problematic. It is good since all concerned breeders have
this as one of their goals in mind when planning their next litter. Sound construction, in accordance with the breed
standard is essential. All exhibitors want to win in the show-ring; therefore, many breeders make superior gait their only
goal. With this as their prime directive, many breeders have made a detrimental detour; they traded breed type for
locomotion. This is problematic. Often, at ringside, one can hear spectators and breeders alike say, “Oh that dog moved
beautifully with great reach and drive”, “It was well put together.” Yes, that could be said however, the dog looked more
like a Doberman than a Rottweiler. Excellent construction with outstanding gait is not breed type. These two attributes
are separate entities in a breeding program and are not mutually interchangeable or should be misconstrued for breed
type.
Over the years, the masculinity of the Rottweiler here in the states, has slowly eroded. Its masculine power and substance,
clearly specified in the standard, has been oozing away. Spindly, fine bones with narrow long muzzles and smooth body
lines have replaced broad top skulls, wide, short muzzles and powerful bones and muscles. Working character has also
eroded and replaced with many Rottweilers that are shy and lack confidence in their temperament. This is a negative and
detrimental trend. Once set in motion, it is extremely difficult to reverse. One only has to see our European and
International counterparts by comparison to understand the differences in breed type and working temperament. In the
international community, the accent is placed on breed type and working temperament. Some would argue there is
nothing to improve. All is well within the Rottweiler and breed type is where it should be. That is a myopic view. It is
valuable and healthy for all concerned to step “out of the trenches” and obtain an international perspective by making
comparisons with our domestic breeding program and our international counterparts. Exchanging ideas and methods to
improve genetics and techniques will benefit all. Additionally, it is extremely important to promote and make available
more breed seminars in all Rottweiler clubs. There, is where real progress is achievable in an open dialog exchanging
opinions and ideas. The benefactor of this is the Rottweiler.
This in Part 1 of a two part article of which Part 2 will be in the April Edition.
Q 1: How has the breed changed since you first got involved with Rottweilers?
Nostalgia or as some may say “The Good Old Days” is often clouded by a euphoria that the
past was always better than the present and every generation unfortunately is subjected to
this reminiscence. When each generation starts out to pursue any endeavour are they really
in a position to comment informatively on the subject they are undertaking at that time? Each
and every one of us must be burdened by a certain degree of naivety as we start along the
road of knowledge and much of our success will be determined by the knowledge and
experience of those we encounter, who have traversed this road previously, and are
prepared to assist us by their own experiences. After giving consideration to our own naivety
at that time we put forward our own point of view.
The breed has certainly changed since we initially became involved. In general they were
larger with certainly good bone and substance. Similar in size to those still seen today in
Germany and Eastern Europe. The most striking difference is the attitude of the adult males
who were very dominant and vocal at that time and many were held confined in their own little
territory within the ring. There was a buzz around the ring as the adult classes progressed
with definite sparring amongst the alpha males. It is also true to say, in our opinion, that in
general the owners of these alpha males were more in control of their dogs than the average
handlers of today who are just inclined to choke their dog to death if it shows any emotion.
Many of the Alpha males never were a danger to the public, just dominant with other dogs, but
attitudes were changing and an explosion of our breed in the late eighties resulted in
inappropriate owner’s acquiring these dogs for totally the wrong reasons.
In 1989 the B.B.C. produced a programme, called Focal Point, investigating the death of a
young girl by Rottweilers in Scotland. Isabelle and I featured in this highly controversial
documentary trying to allay the fears the general public were being given by the Tabloid
Press who called for a ban on all Rottweilers calling them “Devil Dogs”. An eleven year old girl
was staying with her school friend at her father’s lovely country hotel for a holiday weekend
when the incident happened, The two young girls took both dogs for a walk in the woods and
the dogs turned on the young girl visiting. The Hotelier, a family man, who owned the dogs
hung himself before the Court Trial. A vital lesson to us all never to leave young children alone
with any dog and in particular large guarding breeds. This was the lowest ebb in our breed
history and we became totally aware that it was no longer conceivable to have dominant
dogs, perceived as a danger to the public, any longer and breeders had no alternative other
than to breed a more apparent compliant domesticated dog.
Dominance and Aggression are often confused, even by exhibitors today, and the character
of our dogs has suffered as a result of this ignorance. Attitude, not aggression, was what
made this dog special to us, and still does, but sadly has totally declined in our time. A true
working dog should have attitude but when the average owner cannot tell the difference
between attitude and aggression we are doomed to ignominy.
It is also our belief that our own Ch.Potterspride Fatal Force at Jacraila was the last of these
truly Alpha Males of that time. This very dominant dog never ever growled at a child, person
or a Judge in his long lifetime but will always be remembered for his controlled dominance in
the ring.
We owe a great deal of gratitude to the pioneers of our breed and we have fond memories
of many excellent dogs of that time but it is also true to say, in our opinion, that some of
the earlier Champions of the past could not compete successfully against the best of our
current dogs. Yes in some dogs we have lost some of the earlier attributes of, size, bone,
substance, attitude and angulations but our best today would challenge the very best of
them favourably.
2. Have the changes been for the better or worst for the development of the breed and
have the changes been needed.
Change for the sake of fashion have never been advocated by us, but necessity is the
mother of invention and certain changes had to be taken to preserve the very existence of
our breed in the early 1990’s.
In Sept. 1989 our breed came under immense bad media pressure, due to the death of a
young girl, and registrations were running about 10,000 per annum, many to back street
breeders.
Rottweilers as a breed were facing extinction and many of them were abandoned from
every source. Genuine loving owners were subjected to hostility of the severest kind and
it is to their
great credit, particularly those in the show ring, that they absorbed all the animosity and
aggression bestowed upon them with dignity and fortitude to enable our breed to survive.
Dominant dogs, or dogs perceived to be aggressive, were no longer tolerated and had to
be phased out of our breeding programme.
This is one of the prime reasons why the breed as a whole is more compliant today than
his predecessor.
We lost the battle against keeping our original Rottweiler character but won the war on
extinction at that time. Annual Registrations fell from about 10,000 to 2000.
Some earlier dogs were heavy in head and Entropian was not uncommon in certain lines.
Dryer heads were required and we believe that in general we have achieved this in the
vast majority of our dogs today.
A Type of Head became fashionable and much breeding was based purely on the quality
of a sire’s head and not necessarily on the overall qualities of the dog. Overall
construction we believe was sacrificed in pursuit of this one attribute in the early 1990’s
and has had a lasting effect even today. Yes we are a head breed, just look at how many
times a judge goes back to see the head, but we must not overlook the total dog and the
overall attributes.
Size also started to decline as a result of some small Rottweilers winning in the Show ring
and many people were sadly influenced by this fashion. To me this was a particularly
worrying time as The Breed Standard called for an “above average size dog”
Some Rottweilers were smaller than the Boxers competing in the Group Ring. Not the
breed we first encountered as newcomers. Thankfully this influence has declined in
recent years.

Aortic stenosis (AS) had been reported to be the third most prevalent congenital cardiac
disorder in the dog, but researchers at the Ontario Veterinary College (Dr. Michael
O'Grady Dip-ACVIM Cardiology and staff) have found it to be the most common congenital
cardiac disorder in dogs they have examined. It is reported to be the most common
congenital cardiac disorder in Rottweilers.
Aortic stenosis is characterized by a narrowing of the aortic valve, the outflow tract from
the heart's left ventricle. This causes a partial obstruction of blood flow into the
circulation, increasing the heart's workload and in turn causing an increase in the thickness
of the left ventricular wall. This "left ventricular concentric hypertrophy" results in
decreased left ventricular distensibility and an increase in heart dysrhythmias. Aortic
stenosis may be subvalvular, valvular or supravalvular, depending on where the constriction
is located. Subvalvular, or Sub Aortic Stenosis (SAS) is most common.
Most commonly, puppies are presented to a veterinarian for their first series of
vaccinations and a heart murmur is noted as an incidental finding, as the affected puppy is
without clinical symptoms of cardiac disease. However, in severe cases, syncope (fainting)
or sudden death may occur. For those of you who may be interested, the murmur is
systolic, with the Point of Maximal Intensity (PMI) over the left heart base. The murmur
presented may be of varying intensity, from low (grade 1 or 2 out of 6) to moderate or
severe (grade 3/6 or greater). These murmurs can be confused with "innocent", or non
disease related murmurs, which usually occur as well over the left ventricular outflow
tract, are of low intensity (grade 1/6 or 2/6) and occur early in systole (prosystole).
Innocent murmurs, however, should resolve by six months of age. Some authors believe
that similar innocent heart murmurs may also occur in adults, particularly in large and giant
breeds and/or very athletic dogs.
Research has indicated that aortic stenosis is a progressive disease, but the rate of
progression varies with maturity. In immature/growing dogs the rate of progression is
increased, while progression is restricted to a very slow rate in mature/adult dogs. It has
been reported that if a dog with aortic stenosis lives to be greater then three years of
age, it USUALLY does not have aortic stenosis that is severe enough to affect left
ventricular performance.
Diagnosis (and most accurate prognosis) is achieved either through Doppler
echocardiography, which is a safe, non-invasive procedure or via cardiac catheterization. On
Doppler, the velocity of bloodflow through the aorta is measured, and it has been reported
that if the bloodflow velocity is less than 4 metres/second at maturity, the dog USUALLY
will have a normal quality and quantity of life. However, if the bloodflow velocity is measured
to be greater than 5 metres/second, the dog will USUALLY succumb to the disease. These
testing procedures in our dogs are very important, as an affected dog's electrocardiogram
(EKG) is usually normal and radiographs are frequently normal in affected dogs as well.
In order to attempt to learn more about the hereditary nature of this disease, it is
important that we all have our dogs tested by a board-certified cardiologist prior to
breeding. Although the absence of a heart murmur DOES NOT mean that a particular dog is
not affected, or that he/she does not carry this disease, and therefore, the ability to pass
it on to successive generations, it DOES afford us a low cost, non-invasive screening test.
The cardiologist will listen to your dog's heart in a quiet setting at rest and then again after
exercise. Dogs who have a heart murmur are recommended to undergo further testing,
specifically Doppler echocardiography. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), now
has a cardiac registry and will categorize dogs as; 1) Normal-congenital heart disease not
evident, 2) Equivocal-congenital heart disease cannot be diagnosed nor excluded or 3)
Abnormal-examination indicative of congenital heart disease. It is important that we read
the ENTIRE cardiac certification number, as the OFA is allowing non-specialist general
practitioners to certify dogs, and only by examining the entire certification number can you
differentiate between those dogs examined by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist and
those certified by a general practitioner. The OFA certification number of a cardiologist
cleared dog will have a "C" at the end of the number combination, while the number of a
practitioner cleared dog will have a "P". For example, RO-CA123/45M/P-T would be
Rottweiler-Cardiac number 123/age 45 months/PRACTITIONER cleared - Tattooed,
whereas RO-CA123/45M/C-T would be the identical dog with a CARDIOLOGIST cleared
OFA certification number.
I, myself, have a dog that three general practitioners (including myself!) auscultated and
would have classified free of a heart murmur. However, a board-certified veterinary
cardiologist heard a soft (grade 1-2/6) murmur upon examination and the dog has been
classed (for now) as "equivocal" by the OFA. After consulting with this cardiologist and
others, I have decided to breed this dog now (he is 2 years old), check all resulting puppies
at 6-9 months of age and have him rechecked at 4-5 years of age (maturity). I will also have
his heart checked by a cardiologist post mortem, so the outflow tract, chambers size, heart
wall thickness, etc. can all be measured. Will it be difficult to remove the heart of a dog I
love so dearly? YES...but I see it as a greater act of love, one last thing he (and I) can do
for this magnificent breed.

Scientists have found the secret recipe behind the spectacular variety of dog shapes and sizes, and it could help
unravel the complexity of human genetic disease.
It's an unusually balmy mid-February afternoon in New York City, but the lobby of the Hotel Pennsylvania is teeming
with fur coats.
The wearers are attendees of what is undoubtedly the world's elite canine mixer, one that takes place each year on
the eve of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Tomorrow the nation's top dogs from 173 breeds will compete for
glory across the street at Madison Square Garden. But today is more akin to a four-legged meet-and-greet, as owners
shuffle through the check-in line at the competition's official lodgings. A basset hound aims a droopy eye across a
luggage cart at a wired-up terrier. A pair of muscled Rhodesian ridgebacks, with matching leather leashes, pause for a
brief hello with a fluffy Pyrenean shepherd. Outside the gift shop a Tibetan mastiff with paws the size of human hands
goes nose to nose with a snuffling pug.
The variety on display in the hotel lobby—a dizzying array of body sizes, ear shapes, nose lengths, and barking
habits—is what makes dog lovers such obstinate partisans. For reasons both practical and whimsical, man's best
friend has been artificially evolved into the most diverse animal on the planet—a staggering achievement, given that
most of the 350 to 400 dog breeds in existence have been around for only a couple hundred years. The breeders fastforwarded the normal pace of evolution by combining traits from disparate dogs and accentuating them by breeding
those offspring with the largest hints of the desired attributes. To create a dog well suited for cornering badgers, for
instance, it is thought that German hunters in the 18th and 19th centuries brought together some combination of
hounds—the basset, a native of France, being the likely suspect—and terriers, producing a new variation on the
theme of dog with stubby legs and a rounded body that enabled it to chase its prey into the mouth of a burrow: hence
the dachshund, or "badger dog" in German. (A rival, flimsier history of the breed has it dating back, in some form, to
ancient Egypt.) Pliable skin served as a defence mechanism, allowing the dog to endure sharp-toothed bites without
significant damage. A long and sturdy tail helped hunters to retrieve it from an animal's lair, badger in its mouth.
The breeders gave no thought, of course, to the fact that while coaxing such weird new dogs into existence, they were
also tinkering with the genes that determine canine anatomy in the first place-. Scientists since have assumed that
underneath the morphological diversity of dogs lay an equivalent amount of genetic diversity. A recent explosion in
canine genomic research, however, has led to a surprising, and opposite, conclusion: The vast mosaic of dog shapes,
colours, and sizes is decided largely by changes in a mere handful of gene regions. The difference between the
dachshund's diminutive body and the Rottweiler's massive one hangs on the sequence of a single gene. The disparity
between the dachshund's stumpy legs—known officially as disproportionate dwarfism, or chondrodysplasia—and a
greyhound's sleek ones is determined by another one.
The same holds true across every breed and almost every physical trait. In a project called CanMap, a collaboration
among Cornell University, UCLA, and the National Institutes of Health, researchers gathered DNA from more than
900 dogs representing 80 breeds, as well as from wild canids such as grey wolves and coyotes. They found that body
size, hair length, fur type, nose shape, ear positioning, coat colour, and the other traits that together define a breed's
appearance are controlled by somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 genetic switches. The difference between floppy
and erect ears is determined by a single gene region in canine chromosome 10, or CFA10. The wrinkled skin of a
Chinese shar-pei traces to another region, called HAS2. The patch of ridged fur on Rhodesian ridgebacks? That's
from a change in CFA18. Flip a few switches, and your dachshund becomes a Doberman, at least in appearance. Flip
again, and your Doberman is a Dalmatian.
"The story that is emerging," says Robert Wayne, a biologist at UCLA, "is that the diversity in domestic dogs derives
from a small genetic tool kit."
Media reports about the gene for red hair, alcoholism, or breast cancer give the false impression that most
traits are governed by just one or a few genes. In fact, the Tinkertoy genetics of dog morphology is a complete
aberration. In nature, a physical trait or disease state is usually the product of a complex interaction of many
genes, each one making a fractional contribution. Height in humans, for instance, is determined by the
interaction of some 200 gene regions.
So why are dogs so different? The answer, the researchers say, lies in their unusual evolutionary history.
Canines were the earliest domesticated animal, a process that started somewhere between 20,000 and 15,000
years ago, most likely when grey wolves began scavenging around human settlements. Dog experts differ on
how active a role humans played in the next step, but eventually the relationship became a mutual one, as we
began employing dogs for hunting, guarding, and companionship. Sheltered from the survival-of-the-fittest
wilderness, those semidomesticated dogs thrived even though they harboured deleterious genetic mutations—
stumpy legs, for instance—that would have been weeded out in smaller wild populations.
Thousands of years later, breeders would seize on that diverse raw material when they began creating modern
breeds. They tended to grab traits they desired from across multiple breeds—or tried to rapidly replicate
mutations in the same one—in order to get the dog they wanted. They also favoured novelty, since the more
distinct a line of dogs appeared, the more likely it was to garner official recognition as a new breed. Such
artificial selection tended to favour single genes with a large impact, allowing traits to be fixed more rapidly
than groups of smaller-impact genes ever could.
"It's kind of like when you set your remote control to control your TV, your stereo, and your cable," says Carlos
Bustamante, a CanMap geneticist now at Stanford University. "You hit the on-off switch, and it does them all."
This revelation has implications the scientists are just beginning to unravel—most important, for the
understanding of genetic disorders in humans. Already, more than a hundred dog diseases have been mapped
to mutations in particular genes, many of them with human counterparts. Those diseases may have a whole
array of mutations leading to a risk of disease in dogs, as they do in us. But because dogs have been
genetically segregated into breeds developed from just a few original individuals, each breed has a much
smaller set of errant genes—often only one or two—underlying the disease. For instance, Cornell researchers
studying the degenerative eye disease retinitis pigmentosa—shared by humans and dogs—found 20 different
canine genes causing the disorder. But a different gene was the culprit in schnauzers than in poodles, giving
researchers some specific leads for where to start looking in humans. Meanwhile a recent study of a rare type
of epilepsy in dachshunds found what appears to be a unique genetic signature, which could shed new light on
the disorder in us as well.
In short, while the Victorian breeders were crafting dogs to suit their tastes, they were also creating genetically
isolated populations, little knowing how useful they might be to scientists in the future. The possibilities are
especially abundant for cancer, certain types of which can show up as often as 60 per cent of the time in some
dog breeds but only once in every 10,000 humans.
"We are the people who are doing the genetics," says Elaine Ostrander, who studies dog evolution and disease
at the National Human Genome Research Institute at NIH. "But breeders are the people who have done all the
fieldwork."
One category of trait that has so far proved resistant to the CanMap analysis is behaviour. Only a single mutant
behavioural gene has been identified to date: the dog version of the gene for obsessive-compulsive disorder in
humans, which can cause Doberman pinschers to obsessively suck on their fur to the point of bleeding. More
common characteristics such as loyalty, tenaciousness, or the instinct to herd clearly have genetic
underpinnings. But they can also be affected by factors ranging from a dog's nutrition to the presence of
children in the house, making them difficult to quantify rigorously enough to study. Nevertheless, "we've
probably got as good a shot, if not better, of understanding behaviour in dogs over other animals," says
Stanford's Bustamante. After all, he points out, there are millions of dog lovers out there willing and eager to
help with the fieldwork.

By Jim Willis.
I dreamed I came upon a meadow
sunlit and fragrant, a small dog at my side.
As we walked on in silence I saw
across the blue ribbon of a river, a field,
where animal spirits licked the morning dew
from brilliant poppies...basked in sunshine...
batted at butterflies.
"Is this Heaven?" I asked.
He nodded yes and as we rounded a bend in the path,
I saw ahead a wondrous garden
surrounded by a halo of mist,
where animals and children lay among the flowers.
Cool breezes rustled leaves
and over all hung an aura of beauty and peace.
"Is this Heaven, too?" I asked.
"An honoured place," he said, "for those who lived
a Hell on Earth - who died of neglect, torture,
unloved, unwanted and abandoned."
We walked on until we came to a precipice
that overlooked a dark canyon.
Lightning crashed above the horizon
and illuminated iron prisons on the desert floor.
I heard the wails of captive men,
the screams of women imploring for water,
railing against the absence of Light amidst an acrid smoke.
Before I could ask he answered, "These were their tormentors."
We continued solemnly
until the sound of laughter and music greeted us,
and we came upon a village square,
where carefree women, children and men played at games,
or walked arm in arm.
"They are happy," I said.
He agreed and replied, "These were their rescuers.
They are blessed above all."
I spent time among them until I awoke, bathed in a new peace.
For whatever this Earthly day may bring,
I knew that no wrongful deed goes unpunished,
nor is any saving grace without its reward.
I hugged my small dog closer to my chest
and blessed him as a messenger of truth and love.

“I am speechless, to say the least.
It is totally irresponsible and
potentially dangerous for these
people to experiment like this.
“You cannot predict what you are
going to get out of it.
“I question their motivation for
trying to create this dog. It could be
a superdog for all the wrong
reasons.”
The pair kept two of the pups from
the litter for breeding and are
touting them to owners for mating
with other large dogs.
The other puppies were sold to
families.
“The law as it stands is a joke. It
gives powers to the authorities to
act only after an attack.”
How to keep
pups warm,
while mum
takes a break
The family hen decided to get in on
the action.
Why should the dogs have all the
fun, I’m sure they will grow feathers
eventually and look just like me !

A HERO
to his family thrown
in the pound.
A woman who has had two strokes in the
past 15 years went out late Saturday night to
let Zeus her Rottweiler into the house for
the night. She was wearing only a thin
polyester nightgown in the 20-degree cold.
While no one saw what happened in the back
yard that night, Baker clearly collapsed, and
blood and depressions in the snow mark a
trail back to the house. Her family says Zeus,
who weighs about 140 pounds, dragged
Baker to the back steps by her right
shoulder and arm.
About three hours later, at 3 a.m. Sunday, a
next-door neighbour called the family to tell
them Zeus was in the Baker's front yard
barking. The dog was able to get out of the
yard through a hole in the back fence the
family was in the process of repairing.
Cleveland Heights police said Baker had
severe arm and shoulder injuries and bite
marks. She was taken to Huron Hospital,
where she died at 5:10 a.m.
As bad as the bites sound, the Bakers say
they are the marks of a hero.
Zeus awaits the coroner’s report in a county
pound, not really a just reward for a loving
pet.
