“…Comparison of the prolificacy in the two FCI Groups of small breeds (III and IX) confirms the hypothesis that there is a relationship between mother's body weight and the litter size. This is consistent with the results obtained by other researchers (Kelley, 2002;Feldman and Nelson, 2007;Johnson, 2008;Borge et al, 2011;Caffaratti et al, 2013). Among born pups, the frequency of males in our study was 50.04% and this was consistent with the studies conducted by Tedor and Reif (1978) on different dog breeds, where 50.6% of born males were reported.…”

“…Among born pups, the frequency of males in our study was 50.04% and this was consistent with the studies conducted by Tedor and Reif (1978) on different dog breeds, where 50.6% of born males were reported. Similarly, the gender proportions in Dogo Argentino puppies reached 50.8% of born males (Caffaratti et al, 2013) and 50.5% in the Drever breed (Bobic Gavrilovic et al, 2008).…”

“…Similar results were obtained by Feldman and Nelson (2007), who recorded an average of 8 to 10 pups per litter in large breeds. In the study of reproduction parameters in Dogo Argentino (Caffaratti et al, 2013), the average litter size was 8.12 (SD±3.44). In medium-sized dog breeds, e.g., Nederlandse Kooikerhondje the mean litter size was 5.62 (SD±2.08) (Mandigers et al, 1994) and in the Beagle breed, the average litter size reached 5.7 (SD ±1.9) (Seki, 2010) and 5.5 (Shimatsu et al, 2007).…”

In breeders' general opinion small breed females produce less numerous litters. The aim of the study was to analyse the litter size and the frequency of the gender ratio in selected small dog breeds in view of their popularity in Poland. The data set comprised information on 639 litters (in total 2578 puppies) of eight breeds, which were born between January 2003 and end December 2014. The results were statistically analysed using statistical program SPSS 20.0. Medium-size litters were observed in the analysed small dog breeds (4.034±0.1). Comparison of the selected breeds of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) Groups showed that the mean litter size in Group IX was higher (4.36±0.08) than that in Group III (3.87±0.14) and the differences were statistically significant. The study has confirmed the hypothesis that larger females produce more numerous litters, but there are large intra-individual variations in the number of pups born in individual breeds. Additionally, the gender ratio in the puppies born in the analysed breeds was equal, despite the fluctuations in the individual breeds.

“…Prevalence of dystocic parturitions in the breed is of 15.5%, Table 1 [4] informed that dystocia frequency in Boston Terriers was 62% and that 43% of French Bulldog breed parturitions was dystocic. In 2009 Bergström published in his doctoral thesis an incidence of 5.7 per thousands of parturition disorders in the studied population [5], communicated an incidence of 32% in Boxer breed and 27.7% in canine species, Boston Terriers [3] presented 92% of dystocic parturitions, in dogo Argentine breed 89.3% of eutocic parturitions parturitions and 10.7% of dystocic [6].…”

For a period of two years, a survey of 110 parturitions of Labrador breed bitches was carried out in Rosario City to determine the average number of puppies per litter, percentage of dystocia of all parturitions, percentage of males and females born and causes of dystocia, as well as the incidence of clinically detectable congenital pathologies. Over a total of 110 parturitions ninety three (84.5%) parturitions were normal and 17 (15.5%) were dystocic ones, it was established that atony 1 was the most numerous cause of dystocia (53%), followed by atony 2 (23%), dystocia by fetal disorders (6%), hydramnios (6%), uterine rupture (6%) and vagina fibrous band (6%). The whole puppies born was 866, 7.9 puppies per litter, if comparison between normal parturitions and dystocic ones is made, numbers are 7.05 and 8.02 respectively. When sex evaluation percentage is made 51.5% are males and 48.5% are females. When viability of puppies born is calculated it is established that in ones born by normal parturition perinatal death was 9.3%, while in those born by dystocia it was 10.9%. Among clinically verifiable congenital disorders low weight at birth was the most frequent congenital alteration, followed by cleft palate, lethal congenital edema or walrus syndrome and hare lip.

“…On the other hand, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi has been associated with certain influences of Nordic settlers in the region, and this determination complies with the outcome that the Welsh Corgi breed was mostly related to certain European and Nordic dogs such as the Alaskan Malamute, Bichon Frise and Doberman Pinscher breeds ( McGreevy, 1999 ). Additionally, the Dogo Argentino is the first and only Argentinean breed that has been accepted by FCI ( Caffaratti et al., 2013 ). This classification separated this breed from others.…”

The identification of differing physical characteristics of dogs is an uncomplicated and straightforward way to categorize dog breeds. However, many dog owners and veterinarians still struggle to distinguish between pure breed and mixed variations in certain breeds of dogs. Presently, the absence of the tools and methods needed to confirm a pure breed dog is a significant problem since the only method available to validate pure or mongrel breeds is the official pedigree system. Inter-simple sequence repeat markers have been successfully used to assess genetic variations and differentiations. Notably, inter-simple sequence repeat markers coupled with high resolution melting analysis were effectively used for the breed identification of 43 breeds of dogs (total 463 dogs). The 10 primers chosen for analysis resulted in a range of 31–78.6% of breed discrimination when using one primer, while a combination of two primers was able to successfully discriminate between all of the 43 dog breeds (100%). Shannon’s index information (I = 2.586 ± 0.034) and expected heterozygosity (He = 0.908 ± 0.003) indicated a high level of genetic diversity among breeds. The fixation index (Fst) revealed a value of 10.4%, demonstrating that there was a high level of genetic subdivision between populations. This study showed that inter-simple sequence repeat marker analysis was effective in demonstrating high genetic diversity among varying breeds of dogs, while a combination of Inter-simple sequence repeat marker analysis and high resolution melting analysis could provide an optional technique for researchers to effectively identify breeds through genetic variations.
