Slide 4 - What is Dog Breeding?
- Practice of mating selected dogs to maintain or produce specific qualities and characteristics
- Artificial selection by humans, unlike natural selection in wild reproduction
- Relies on the science of genetics
- Requires breeder knowledge of canine genetics, health, and intended purpose

Slide 9 - Key Influences on Dog Behavior
- Internally coordinated responses of domestic dogs to stimuli
- Shaped by millennia of human contact and lifestyle adaptation
- Acquired social-cognitive abilities to understand and communicate with humans
- Influenced by genetics (physiological), environment, and human interaction
