Dog genealogy is more than just tracing lineage; it's about understanding the rich history and genetic makeup of our beloved canine companions. By exploring the genetic diversity in different dog populations, we can ensure their well-being for generations to come.

I did one of those DNA tests for her and I learned some interesting things. She has the boxer bounce, the shepherd clinginess, the pittie amiability, and the minpin desire to murder anyone who clips her claws. For myself I call her a black mouth cur because she looks it, and they're more a landrace than a breed anyway.
"What is she?" people ask.
"Oh you know. Heinz 57."
#WhoKnew - not that #dogs, #sledDogs, helped to #explore #Antarctica. That's not really a surprise. But that they were #bred down there for many years - and then #culled #killed, not #retired and #caredFor as they deserved - when their use was deemed over 😡.
Yes, cute profiles. Hope the cards all get digitized if they haven't been yet. These dogs deserve a #searchableDatabase. And were samples taken from any of them for #DNAtesting later when it was available? Would be fun to see where, if anywhere, their #descendants ended up. #dogDNA #dogGenealogy

They at least deserve a feature-length #documentary/ other #movie. The only one I've found so far was a fictionalized one about a group of abandoned #Japanese sled dogs there , #EightBelow
