Because breeds are genetically closed populations, a disease-causing mutation that just happens to pop up in one dog can quickly become common in future generations. \u201cEspecially if the animal with that mutation is otherwise a prize specimen,\u201d Dr. Serpell said. \u201cBecause everyone will want to breed from that individual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The result is that many modern breeds suffer from ailments that dog lovers never would have deliberately selected for. Labrador retrievers are prone to a degenerative eye disease known as progressive retinal atrophy, while Cavalier King Charles spaniels often develop a heart condition called mitral valve disease.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-lt5b41 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">YAY Media, via Alamy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In other cases, however, the physical traits that breeders are seeking can themselves be the problem, especially as these characteristics have become increasingly exaggerated. The breed standard for bulldogs explicitly calls for \u201cvery short\u201d muzzles, but, over time, the dogs\u2019 snouts have all but disappeared, Dr. Serpell said, resulting in serious respiratory problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mutts and mixed-breed dogs can be healthier than purebred ones, especially if they have small amounts of DNA from many different types of breeds, Dr. Bannasch said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But some mixed-breed dogs may still be highly inbred, she said, and some health problems are common in multiple breeds. Many large breeds are prone to bone cancer, for instance; mixing a few of them together may not have much benefit. \u201cYou can\u2019t lump all \u2018mixed breeds\u2019 together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1748eb3b\">The link between breed and behavior is murkier.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In creating modern breeds, humans generally put a much stronger emphasis on appearance than behavior, which is also shaped by a dog\u2019s training and early environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBehavioral traits definitely vary from breed to breed, but not nearly as strongly as the morphological traits do,\u201d Dr. Boyko said. \u201cYou\u2019re never going to get a collie that looks like a Great Dane,\u201d he added. \u201cBut I see lots of dogs exhibit pointing behavior that aren\u2019t pointers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Scientists have uncovered some general patterns. Terriers, which were bred to hunt and kill pests, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/08\/science\/dog-breed-genetics.html\" title=\"\">are more likely to exhibit<\/a> \u201cpredatory chasing\u201d than herding dogs, for example. And, on average, Siberian huskies are more likely to howl than Labrador retrievers are.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"imageblock-wrapper\">\n<figure class=\"img-sz-small css-lt5b41 e1g7ppur0\" aria-label=\"media\" role=\"group\"><figcaption data-testid=\"photoviewer-children-caption\" class=\"css-13ytnnu ewdxa0s0\"><span class=\"css-14fe1uy e1z0qqy90\"><span class=\"css-1ly73wi e1tej78p0\">Credit&#8230;<\/span><span><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Life on White\/Alamy<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But, overall, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/04\/28\/science\/dogs-breed-behavior-genes.html\" title=\"\">breed is a poor predictor<\/a> of behavior, and there is more variation within breeds than between them, scientists have found. Someone who wants a friendly, fetch-loving dog that doesn\u2019t bark can\u2019t bank on getting exactly that just by bringing home a Labrador retriever. \u201cYou may get exactly the opposite of that,\u201d Dr. Lord said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/09\/science\/dog-breed-health-behavior-westminster.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In some cases, these health problems arose as byproducts of inbreeding.
