Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of prediction of breeding values in a genomic selection program for behavior traits in a population of Labrador Retrievers used as guide dogs. Implementing genomic selection as a new tool in service dogs has the potential to increase genetic gain, improving the performance of populations. Additionally, genomic predictions may help service dog organizations in...
