At e-Training for Dogs we are extremely pleased to be able to offer a comprehensive dog breeding and genetics diploma to assist dog enthusiasts and professionals to develop the knowledge and skills to provide informed breeding decisions.
Prerequisites: None
Purpose: This Dog breeding and genetics diploma is designed for breeders, dog professionals or individuals interested in enhancing their study of dogs. Emphasis will be on the biology, evolution, genetics, and the early environmental influences on dogs.
General Diploma Information: Individuals who are passionate about improving their breeding programs would greatly benefit from this unique program. It is accepted in the scientific community that the principles of natural and selective breeding show themselves in the resulting animal’s behavior as well as its physical characteristics. Studies tell us that genetics determine aproximately 60% of behavior and the environment (“how,” “when” and “what” in the raising of the dog) determine approximately 40%, as long as those environments are within a normal range of experiences. Since it is possible to exert a great deal of control over the genetic and rearing environments of canines, this Diploma is essential for a complete understanding of dogs in our society. You will explore key areas such as: species origin, evolution of the species, genetics, biology and the interrelationship of these on ability, conformation, temperament and behaviour.
What students can expect to learn from this program:
- To understand the links between behavior and the origin, evolution, genetics and biology of the dog.
- To understand how the evolutionary background, biology, and genetics, impact canine behavior.
- To understand how the early experiences of canines impact their behavior.
- To understand how the prenatal and postnatal environment can be optimized to affect a canine’s development and behavior.
- Gain an understanding of complete canine genetics.
- The Breeding and Genetics Diploma will be provided when all required courses have been satisfactorily completed.
