Breed Distribution of the Superoxide Dismutase 1 Gene Polymorphism Associated With Degenerative Myelopathy in a Canine Population From Different Geographical Regions of Türkiye. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The SOD1:c.118G>A mutation associated with canine degenerative myelopathy was identified for the first time in the Kangal Shepherd, with an allele frequency of 0.057; it was also detected in the German Shepherd at a frequency of 0.140 and in the Toy Poodle at 0.089. The mutant allele frequency in the canine population in Türkiye has been estimated at 0.

Direct interactions between livestock guarding dogs and wildlife in a transhumance grazing system [PDF]

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
This study explores the interactions between livestock guarding dogs (LGDs) and wildlife in Romania's southern Carpathian Mountains, revealing that while LGDs sometimes chase or kill wildlife, such instances are infrequent. Most wildlife remains found in LGD scats were insects, with only 9% of scats containing vertebrate wildlife remains.
