I especially liked this section: "In addition to the virtually identical genetics of Belgian sheepdog and Belgian Tervuren, the study also showed five pairs of breeds with very similar genetics: Alaskan malamute and Siberian husky, collie and Shetland sheepdog, greyhound and whippet, Bernese mountain dog and greater Swiss mountain dog, and bull mastiff and mastiff." Woohoo, go figure, the Belgian Sheepdog & the Belgian Tervuren were virturally identical! grin Shelly & The Boys |
