This book provides extensive research results on
canine hip and elbow dysplasia, population structure
and inbreeding. It shows that systematic breeding
programs, including preservation of genetic
variation, are needed in order to improve health of
the dogs, as well as to improve or maintain the
desired behaviour and working traits. The only way to
reach this goal is to clearly favour health and
mental traits when selecting breeding dogs. Beauty of
the dog should not be more than a minor factor on
selection. The research has been made with large data
sets and novel animal breeding research methods.
