The only problem is that these alleles have very specific DNA fingerprints, and they arose in other breeds. They could not have arisen spontaneously in the Yorkshire Terrier. |
Is the table the same or significantly changed from the table shown in the article I posted from 2002? Just curious how much has changed in the dog breeding world according to the experts since then.
