Aspects regarding the molecular characterisation of the Romanian Shepherd dog breeds
Journal Title: Animal Biology & Animal Husbandry - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
There are four shepherd dog breeds at the present time in Romania: the Bucovina Shepherd dog, the Carpathian Shepherd dog, the Mioritic Shepherd dog and the Corb Shepherd dog. The first three breeds have been provisory homologated by the F.C.I. The Corb Shepherd dog breed is only recognized in Romania. In this article we present the steps we have performed in order to obtain the mitochondrial DNA nucleotide sequences for several individuals belonging to the three homologated Romanian dog breeds, in order to be used for later phylogenetic studies.
