Plus, Expert Tips to Curb Puppy Mouthing
Canine Heart Health and Genetic Testing | Canine heart disease can be a significant concern for breeders, and multiple tools are available for assessing heart health in breeding stock and puppies. Both phenotypic and genetic tests are important and must be interpreted together. Phenotype refers to a dog's observable traits, whereas genotype refers to a dog's genetic constitution. Phenotypic tests are typically performed by a veterinarian or board-certified cardiologist. DNA tests can be used to determine a dog's genotype for specific genetic variants, but phenotype tests are required to obtain a diagnosis of heart disease. | | | Keeping Dogs' Hearts Healthy | February is American Heart Month, a good time to review how you keep your dogs fit.
