About this deal

We thank our many colleagues who have collaborated with us as well as worked independently to advance the field canine skeletal genetics. Just as important, numerous other associations with snout length and cranium shape were described, including QTL on CFA -5, -24, -30, and -32 and the X chromosome, as well as other QTL that were unique to each study’s design ( Figure 2B). As proof of principle, during the 40 years it took to domesticate silver foxes, in a well-documented experiment performed in Novosibirsk, Russia, changes in cranial dimensions, among other morphologic features, were also noted as a correlate to tameness ( Trut 1999; Zeder 2012). Fine mapping on CFA1 defined a 296-kb critical interval that included throbospondin2 ( THSB2), next to sparc-related modular calcium binding 2 ( SMOC2).

As a result of artificial selection, dogs radiated to fill niches in our lives, becoming our herders, guardians, hunters, rescuers, and companions ( Wilcox and Walkowicz 1995). These dogs usually have the same number of teeth as other dogs but have much less room for them in their mouth, which predisposes them to periodontal disease and buildup of plaque and calculus.

Thus, the rostrum angle of the bull terrier and the boxer represent opposing extremes of an interbreed continuum ( Figure 3A; Nussbaumer 1982). The associated genetic variation identified in the aforementioned GWAS is “old” since carrier breeds implicitly shared a common founder sometime in their history.

Even with direct phenotype–genotype data, modeling genetic effects could also benefit from outbred populations such as mixed-breed or village dogs ( Boyko et al. Postnatal expression in rats indicates that Bmp3 is highly expressed at synchondroses, suggesting a role in chondrogenesis ( Kettunen et al. Some have likened dogs to wolf pedomorphs, proposing that dogs are juvenilized wolves that are developmentally restrained in behavior and physical maturation ( Gould 1977; Wayne 1986; Coppinger and Coppinger 2001; Drake and Klingenberg 2010; Drake 2011). Moreover, the authors suggest that slippage events that result in contraction and expansion of tandem repeats represent a novel mechanism of rapid evolution. However, the idea that pedomorphism is a major driver of canine craniofacial variation is not without controversy.

Yet the overall size of dogs’ brains relative to that of wolves has decreased by nearly 30% ( Coppinger and Schneider 1995; Zeder 2012). Your pet’s Veterinary Dentist™ can discuss your pet’s specific dental needs and risk factors and advise on any dental or oral treatment your pet needs.

Given its prominence as a hallmark for domestication and its indication of breed identity, we devote the remainder of this review to a discussion of our current understanding of canine skull diversity and its mechanistic underpinnings as they relate to domestication, genetics, and disease. In practice, the strong LD within dog breeds is a double-edged sword: GWAS are quite successful at finding genetic associations; however, the resulting critical intervals are often extensive LD blocks that can extend hundreds of kilobases or more. Of particular interest are those molecular genetic changes that are associated with the development of distinct breeds. This observation raises the possibility that mixing and matching genetic variants that independently regulate development of either structure enrich canine skull diversity.This approach was done out of necessity, as access to skull data from live, healthy subjects is expensive, scarce, and stressful on the dogs being measured. The 3B Scientific Real Dog Skull (Canis Lupus Familiaris, Large) is a fantastic study tool for veterinary and zoology students. Human brachycephaly is associated with morbidity and is diagnostic of many syndromes, including Apert’s, Crouzon’s, and Pfeiffer’s syndromes ( Miraoui and Marie 2010; Johnson and Wilkie 2011; Ursitti et al. Below one will find replicas of several types of dog, including Siberian gray wolf and French bulldog.
