Abstract

The purpose of the project was to see if there are differences in genetic variation among The Seeing Eye’s breeds-- golden retrievers (GR), German shepherds (GS), and Labrador retrievers (LR)-- and to study whether differences in genetic variation are associated with selection response in the trainability score.
