If you breed two dogs of the same or similar color, there is a good chance that the puppies will be that color too, though you must always account for recessive genes.

Then lower on that same page I saw the article about «Breathtaking Gene Discovery in Dalmatians» about acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and further googling led me to... «A progressive pulmonary disease resulting in severe respiratory failure and death in an average of 3 weeks was diagnosed in 11 young Dalmatian dogs.

In collaboration with veterinary neurologists in England, researchers at the Hospital for Sick Children compared the genes known to be associated with Lafora to the same genes in affected dogs.

It represents the chance that a dog will inherit a homozygous pair of alleles from an ancestor on both sides of the pedigree, or that a given percentage of a dog's genes will have homozygous genes (i.e. the same genes).

However, hybrid dogs typically have much fewer genetic problems than purebred dogs do because even though breeders are mating two different types of first generation purebred dogs, the gene pool is still mixed more than it would be after mating two purebred animals of the same breed.

As it is accepted, the shepherd dogs have the same genes as the wolf.

In the same way that inbreeding among human populations can increase the frequency of normally rare genes that cause diseases, the selective breeding that created the hundreds of modern dog breeds has put purebred dogs at risk for a large number of health problems, affecting both body and behavior.

Researchers have identified genetic mutations that cause similar problems in other breeds of dogs and they want to compare those genes to the DNA in French Bulldogs to see if the same mutation might be responsible for the condition.

now you will probably say the american staffordshire is the same yet when a study done on the genes of working dogs vs show dogs of the same breed was done it showed that the working type was genetically different from the show type.

Roughly the same situation occurs with a dominant disease that has a post - reproductive age of onset, since as many as half of the offspring of an affected dog will become afflicted in their lifetime, but not until they have passed on the disease gene to half of their offspring.
