Abstract

The genetic basis for skeletal morphology in Portuguese Water dogs (PW) is analyzed and the evidence that an autosomal genetic marker is associated with the size sexual dimorphism in PW dogs is presented. It is observed that size is often positively correlated with the level of size sexual dimorphism.
