  • [quote=Astibus]Nice read so far. :) [/quote]

    I agree :D

    [blockquote] For one, we're talking about the "power-factories" of the cell here - wouldn't that be kinda important in the context of stamina in working dogs? Moreover, as you already stated correctly, they are EXCLUSIVELY inhereted from the maternal side. This I believe could well serve as an eye-opener for many breeders, who solely rely on the quality of the sires. And lastly, let's not forget that mtDNA is of substantial interest in broader phylogenetics studies. [/blockquote]

    I can't agree with this more! It would do every breeder mounds of good to understand the importance of the Dam in breeding. :) Can't wait for part two :wink: 8)
