Abstract
Some morphological characteristics of the Mexican hairless dog and their inheritance were investigated. The dogs examined were hairless and had defective teeth. From the results of mating experiments, an autosomal dominant semi-lethal gene was considered to be responsible for the hairlessness accompanied by defective teeth in the dog. The possible usefulness of the dog was also discussed.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
