Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬In one #dog breed, selection for utility may have selected for #obesity
#LabradorRetrievers are common #pets, but they also work as service dogs, aiding people with sight or hearing impairments. Unfortunately, the breed is particularly prone to getting #overweight, and this tendency apparently is more severe in Labradors purpose-bred for service.
Selecting trainable dogs may have gotten us dogs that would do anything for a treat.
