Line breeding is presented as matings of relatives that are more distant than one generation, where the breeding is an attempt to concentrate the genes of some outstanding ancestor. While inbreeding is considered dangerous, especially for novice breeders, line breeding is accepted as the favored approach for serious breeders.]]> Documents and Books garysicard@nospam.com (gsicard) Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:51:26 -0700 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.122 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.121 Documents and Books webmaster@nospam.com (maximus) Fri, 11 Dec 2009 08:50:07 -0700 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.121 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.120 Documents and Books garysicard@nospam.com (gsicard) Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:25:27 -0700 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.120 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.119 oriented hypaxial muscles is consistent with the possible functions of stabilization against vertical accelerations that cause the trunk to sag in the sagittal plane and (ii) stabilization against forces that tend to shear the trunk in the sagittal plane. To test these hypotheses, we compared the amount of activity of the intercostal and abdominal oblique muscles when dogs carried additional mass (8–15 % of body mass) supported over the limb girdles versus supported mid-trunk (test of sagittal bounce), and (ii) when dogs trotted up versus down a 10 ° slope (test of sagittal shear). In response to the loading manipulations,
only the internal oblique muscle responded in a manner that was consistent with stabilization of the trunk against forces that cause the trunk to sag sagittally. In contrast, when the fore–aft forces were manipulated by running upand downhill, all four of the monitored muscles changed their activity in a manner consistent with stabilization of the trunk against sagittal shearing.]]> Documents and Books admin@nospam.com (admin) Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:10:06 -0700 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.119 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.118 in lung ventilation, observations from fishes and
ectothermic tetrapods suggest that their primary function may be locomotion. To provide a broader understanding of the role these muscles play in locomotion, I measured ventilatory airflow at the mouth and activity of the fourth and ninth intercostal muscles in four dogs trotting on a treadmill. During rest and thermoregulatory panting, activity of the intercostal muscles was associated with inspiratory and expiratory airflow. However, during trotting, activity of the interosseous portions of the intercostal muscles was correlated with locomotion.

When ventilation and stride cycles were not synchronized, activity of the interosseous intercostal muscles stayed locked to the locomotor events and drifted in time relative to ventilation. In contrast, activity of the parasternal portion of the internal intercostal muscles was always associated with inspiratory airflow. These observations suggest that, in dogs, locomotion is the dominant function of the interosseous portions of the intercostal muscles. However, the parasternal intercostal muscles are primarily inspiratory in function.]]> Documents and Books admin@nospam.com (admin) Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:09:29 -0700 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.118 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.115 Documents and Books admin@nospam.com (admin) Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:41:20 -0700 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.115 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.114 Documents and Books garysicard@nospam.com (gsicard) Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:22:44 -0600 http://molosserdogs.com/download.php?view.114
