Abstract excerpt
Dog breeding promotes within-group homogeneity through conformation to strict breed standards, while simultaneously driving between-group heterogeneity. There are over 350 recognized dog breeds that provide the foundation for investigating the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity. Typically, breed standard phenotypes such as stature, pelage, and craniofacial structure are analyzed through genetic association...
