Journal Title: Journal of Veterinary Advances - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
This is the first document on Turkish Zerdava dogs raised in northeast of Anatolia. This study was carried out to define the morphologic traits of the Turkish Zerdava dogs raised in east of Turkey comparing with some other native dog breeds of Turkey. To this end, a total of 39 (19 male and 20 female) dogs was analyzed using the Minitab 15 statistical software program using ANOVA and Student’s t-Test. Descriptive statistics and comparison results were for height at shoulders 51.2±0.35, height at rump 51.6±0.28, body length 56.3±0.35, heart girth circumference 50±1.43, chest width 25.6±0.22, cannon circumference 9.4±0.14, and head length 19.4±0.17 cm respectively. The Zerdava dogs reached mature body weight and size at around 18 months of age.
