ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the conservation genetic status of the Swedish population of the dog breed Saluki. The intention is that the results from this study will be of use for future breeding of the Saluki in a conservation genetically sound manner. Studbook data was provided by the Swedish Kennel Club and this material includes Swedish registered dogs born between 1946-01-01 and 2005-11-15. The studbook was modified by adding founders and removing individuals that occurred more than once. Statistical pedigree analysis was performed, using several computer based software, to assess the level of inbreeding and to quantify the loss of genetic variation. The questions addressed in this report include:

• How many individuals constitute the genetic foundation for the Swedish population?

• How has the population size fluctuated over time? • How much of the founder alleles are still present in the currently living

population? • How much inbreeding is present in the current population? • Are there any indications of inbreeding depression? • How large is the worldwide Saluki population? • Where is most of the worldwide population geographically located? • How should the breeding program be revised so that the maximal amount of

genetic variation will be preserved? The results may be summarized as follows:

• The total Swedish population consists of 4746 individuals and the currently living population amounts to 1862 Salukis (data on death dates are missing in the studbook, therefore an animal was defined as “living” if it was younger than 13 years).

• Since 1946 the breed has grown considerably. Recently the registration numbers

(primarily newborns and imported animals) seem to have stabilized around 130 individuals per year.

• There are 551 potential founders. Of these, 15 are alive but have not reproduced

yet. 158 founders are deceased without any living offspring and their genome has thus been lost to future generations.

• Of the 1102 potential founder alleles 57.2% has been lost.

• The mean inbreeding coefficient in the total population is 4.71% and 3.32% in the

currently living population.

• No effect of inbreeding of the litter or of the mother with respect to the litter size can be detected.

• Only six countries answered the questionnaire sent out, so no conclusions can be drawn regarding the worldwide population. The replies show that in those particular countries only a limited number of Salukis were registered.

To conserve the breed, efforts should be made to include more of the underrepresented founder genome. Dogs carrying large proportions of overrepresented founder genes should be avoided for breeding. It is important to continue to x-ray stud dogs for hip dysplasia and to investigate the degree of heredity of sudden death and auto immune system diseases. Inbreeding should be avoided.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to investigate the conservation genetic status of the dog breed Saluki in Sweden. A pedigree analysis of the population based on studbook records has been performed to assess the levels of inbreeding and retention of genetic diversity in this population. The intention is that the results will assist the breeders in future breed planning and aid the breed association in their future recommendations. The Saluki The Saluki, or gazelle hound, is one of the world’s oldest breeds, with a history that dates back at least 6000 years. The breed is unique in the respect that it has remained fairly unchanged morphologically and functionally over several millennia and is not a modern creation like many other dog breeds (Hedberg & Edling 1992). Findings at archeological excavations in the Middle East have shown that a Saluki like dog have been kept by humans as hunting hounds as early as 4000 BC and grave findings dated to 3000 BC have revealed a breed that looked like present day Salukis. The success of the breed is coupled to its extraordinary hunting capacity. It was a very highly valued hound and essential for the Bedouin tribes’ survival. As a tradition, no Saluki was ever sold. It could only be given as a token of friendship or respect or traded to something of equal value, like a couple of horses, camels or wife’s (Hedberg & Edling 1992). The Saluki is part of the sight hound group and comes in two different hair varieties, fringed and short-haired. There is a variance in type within the breed, this is considered typical and desired. The reason for these differences is because of the part the hound has played in the history of the Middle East as the hunting hound among Bedouins. Bedouin tribes have been widely dispersed across a vast area with major differences in climate. So each tribe had a type of Saluki that was ideal for their terrain (FCI-Standard N° 269 Saluki 2000). Nowadays, the breed is mainly kept as a pet, but it is crucial to conserve its original form and function as the hunting hound it truly is for the benefit of future generations (Pettersson 2005). The hunting skills, which have been perfected over several millennia, are valuable traits that have served the interests of humanity over a long period of time and will hopefully continue to do so in the future. Conservation efforts of this breed may have additional value, because of its unusually long history of coexisting with mankind. The population has also remained in moderate numbers during modern time. Therefore it is important to determine the genetic variation within the breed, to provide a base for a genetically healthy future breeding plan (Sundgren 2006, pers. comm.). Dog breeding policies Ever since the dog was domesticated, mankind has influenced its properties. A vast number of breeds have been created through selection, often from a few number of individuals. This has been done to custom make dogs to benefit and assist humans in different areas of work. To preserve these different breeds with their desired characteristics, associations have been formed. These associations have grown, breed standards have been developed and policies on breeding appointed (www.skk.se 070601).

F.C.I., The Fédération Cynologique Internationale is one of the world canine organizations. It has over 80 member organizations and contract partners worldwide. The Swedish Kennel Club, SKK, is one of them. One of F.C.I.’s main aims is to handle the mutual recognition of studbooks and pedigrees among the membership countries (www.fci.be 060401).The pedigree is a document of an individual’s descent and heredity. A purebred dog is a dog with a known ancestry of dogs consisting of the same breed. The pedigree provides a unique tool for analyses of the microstructure in a population. The pedigree analyses can present information on founder contribution, inbreeding, heterozygosity, genome uniqueness, and mean kinship, to help evaluate the current population and the future viability (Lacy 1987; Ballou et al. 1995; Haig & Ballou 2002). “RAS” (“rasspecifik avelsstrategi”) is a program that the Swedish Kennel Club launched in 2001. The purpose of the program is to create a specific breeding strategy for every recognized breed to provide the means to reach the aims of the SKK breeding policy. The breeding policy established by the Swedish Kennel Club defines the basics of pure breeding within the club. The first paragraph in the club’s constitution states the importance of breeding with physically and mentally healthy purebred dogs, which have satisfactory working/hunting abilities and typical exteriors (www.skk.se 060330). The Swedish Saluki Club has developed a RAS program for the breed. The breeding analysis, that covers the years between 1993-2003, has shown that the breed has had an increasing genetically effective population size the last couple of years (Sundgren 2004). But the population has passed through a bottleneck and the question of how many founder alleles that are still present in the population remains to be addressed. Selective breeding vs. conservation breeding When following a specific breed standard, not only health is sought after, but also a typical exterior. The standard describes the desired appearance and the individuals meet the criteria to a different extent within the population. The individuals that lie closest to the standard are considered more attractive and are often used more frequently in breeding. Therefore, some genes can become overrepresented in the population, while others that may be important for the genetic diversity vanishes. As a result, the population’s variation becomes depleted. So the refining of breeds can pose a conflict in conserving the same (Laikre 2000). Genetic variation is of great importance for a population’s long term survival chance. Loss of variation may lead to reduced fitness as well as a lowered ability to adapt to environmental changes (Meffe & Carroll 1997). In small populations, only a limited number of individuals produce a finite number of offspring. As a consequence of the small number of progeny, not all of the parenting generation’s genes are past on to the next generation. By chance, some of the genetic information is lost, while other parts of the code are more widely dispersed in the population. This process is called genetic drift (Falconer 1981). Since most of the dog breeding occurs in moderate isolated populations, genetic drift has a significant influence on the future development of the breeds. Inbreeding is another consequence of breeding small populations and leads to the loss of genetic variation. Inbreeding is frequently coupled to negative effects, so called inbreeding depression (Ralls et al 1979). Such negative effects typically include increased occurrence of defects with recessive inheritance and reduced fecundity and viability (Laikre 1996).

Inbreeding in wolves (Canis lupus) has caused a number of negative effects, expressed as reductions in juvenile weight, productivity and longevity, leading to an inbreeding depression (Laikre & Ryman 1991; Liberg et al. 2004). Another consequence of the inbreeding in wolves has been blindness with reduced viability, caused by a single recessive allele (Laikre & Ryman 1993). Furthermore, an increase of inbreeding in captive brown bear (Ursus arctos) has resulted in a significant reduction of litter size. The occurrence of albinism within the population is also associated with inbreeding (Laikre et al 1996). When establishing a captive population, approximately 20 founders are often recommended to achieve adequate genetic representation. 20 randomly selected founders would contain 97.5% of the genetic variability present in the wild population (Lacy 1989). Many dog breeds are founded from a small number of individuals. Therefore it is important to identify the founders to determine a breed’s representation of founder alleles and thus gene diversity. Rules of thumb of conservation breeding There are three essential rules one must apply to be successful in conservation breeding of domesticated animals. The population must be of a sustainable size, to harbor and retain a considerable amount of genetic variation (Sundgren 2004). Only healthy and viable individuals with their natural functions intact can efficiently produce offspring. A fundamental rule is that a single individual should only give rise to a moderate number of progeny (Sundgren 2004). The more evenly reproduction is spread among individuals (decreasing variance in offspring production) the slower the rate of loss of variation (Frankel & Soulé 1981). As the awareness of the problems with loss of biological and thus genetical diversity grew in society, 150 government leaders worldwide decided to form a convention that recognized those problems and an action plan for dealing with them. And so the Convention on Biological Diversity was born in Rio 1992. Many countries have ratified the convention since then including Sweden in 1993. The contracting parties of the convention recognize the importance of biological diversity and the need to preserve it. Biological diversity includes not only wildlife, but also comprises domesticated and cultivated species. This means species in which the evolutionary process has been influenced by humans to meet their needs (Convention on Biological Diversity 2002). Thus the dog breeds constitute a part of the convention to which we are legally bound. We are therefore obligated to conserve the different breeds of dog accordingly. Diseases and defects No breed specific diseases have been confirmed on Saluki although the insurance statistics show incidences of sudden death and immune system related diseases in the Swedish population (Pettersson 2005). Unfortunately, there is no record of the affected dogs and a genetic analysis is therefore not possible. A defect called hip joint dysplasia is a fairly common affliction in dogs (Hedhammar 1986). Hip joint dysplasia involves an abnormality in the development of the hip joint. This is caused by a too shallow acetabulum (the "cup" of the hip joint) which leads to an unstable femoral head (the "ball" of the hip joint). If the femoral head lacks full support from the acetabulum it tends to dislocate, leading to pain and stiffness for the dog. There

is a genetic factor to the dysplasia, but the inheritance is not yet fully known. Records show that the offspring to dogs with hip joint dysplasia are overrepresented among the afflicted individuals. To address this issue, x-rays of the hips are mandatory prior to breeding to a number of dog breeds. (Information om röntgenkontroll av leder. 2007). It is not mandatory to x-ray Salukis, but a lot of breeders do, as a safety measure. Records exist from 1990. OBJECTIVES The aim with this study is to analyze the conservation genetic status of the Saluki in Sweden. Further, information on the breed world wide with respect to population size is presented. The study will be of use for future work to conserve this breed in a genetically sound manner. More specifically, the questions addressed in this paper include:

• How many individuals constitute the genetic foundation for the Swedish population?

• How has the population size fluctuated over time? • How much of the founder alleles are still present in the currently living

population? • How much inbreeding is present in the current population? • Are there any indications of inbreeding depression? • How large is the worldwide Saluki population? • Where is most of the worldwide population geographically located? • How should the breeding program be revised so that the maximal amount of

genetic variation will be preserved? MATERIALS & METHODS The data analyzed in this study have been provided by the Swedish Kennel Club. The data consist of their studbooks over registered Salukis’ in Sweden that have been digitalized. Though the breed is older, the record only dates back to the year 1946. The studbooks older than that have not been transferred to computers and are not available at this time. The studbook contains dogs born before 2005-11-15. It also contains foreign dogs which have been used by Swedish breeders or participating in dog shows in Sweden. However they do not receive a Swedish registration number, but keep their original foreign number in the studbook. Imported dogs and foreign dogs used in breeding will in addition have their ancestors registered dating back four generations. This data has been processed in Microsoft Excel 2003 and known founders have been added. These founders are parents of dogs with one known parent and one wild parent, with the wild parent being the new founder. Double entries that have been identified in the studbook during this work have been erased and birthdates estimated for dogs without known dates. All this has been done to produce a studbook with the highest possible accuracy and to render an analysis possible in the computer program GENES (Lacy 1999).

Contacts with other countries’ kennel clubs have also been made in an attempt to investigate the breeds’ quantity and distribution abroad. Forty-four countries on four continents have been contacted via e-mail. The questions asked were: 1. How many Salukis' of each gender does your club register yearly (dating back as long as possible)? 2. How many imports and exports occur yearly and if possible the gender quota of these (dating back as long as possible)? No record is kept by the Swedish Kennel Club over deceased dogs, therefore there is an uncertainty to which of the dogs that actually still are alive. Therefore, the estimate of a maximum of 12 years of age has been made to determine the currently living population. This estimation of maximum age has been necessary to make as accurate conclusions about the population as possible. Dogs older than the age of 12 are, even though they may actually be alive, considered “genetically dead” as the probability for them to produce viable offspring is considered to be very low. The currently living population is defined as all animals that are younger then 13 years, i.e. born later than 1992-11-15. The total population is defined as all of the dogs enumerated in the studbook as well as the pseudo founders that have been added. The collected information has been stored in a database constructed and processed in the computer programs Microsoft Excel 2003 and dBase. The pedigree analyses have been performed using the computer programs GENES (Lacy 1999) and Microsoft Excel 2003. Founders and founder representation A gene drop analysis has been performed in GENES to investigate the founder representation in Saluki. A founder is an individual which do not have any ancestors in the pedigree. It is only related to its possible descendents. Thus, the founders of a population are the (presumed) unrelated individuals from which all individuals of the population descends. All available genetic variation that exists in a population originates from its founders. Even though all founders in a population would generate offspring, a certain amount of genetic variation will always be lost from one generation to the next due to genetic drift (Lacy et al 1995). Genetic drift is a change of the genetic composition of a population due to random sampling. In Saluki, the breed founders are not known because of the breed’s long history, therefore the founding dogs in the Swedish population are not the founding dogs of the breed. These circumstances make the results a bit uncertain since the founders may in fact not be totally unrelated to the rest of the population. The founder equivalents are the estimated number of equally contributing founders that would be expected to generate the same genetic diversity as in the real population. If the founder contribution is unequal in a population, the founder equivalents will decrease leading to an unnecessary increase in inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity. The

founder genome equivalents are the number of equally contributing founders without any genetic drift in the descendants that would be expected to generate the same genetic variation in the real population. The number of founder genome equivalents is approximately also the number of new wild animals necessary to obtain the same amount of genetic diversity as in the living descendant population (Lacy 1989). Retention is a measure of the amount of founder alleles still present in the current population. It spans from 0 to 1. One means no allele loss and 0 indicates a total allele loss (Lacy 1999). Representation indicates the amount in percent of the total currently living population genome that a particular founder has contributed. Inbreeding and mean kinship The inbreeding coefficient (F) is a figure calculated from the animal in question relation to the founder population. F spans from 0 to 1 and is often stated in per cent. Per definition the inbreeding coefficient in the founder population is 0. Mean kinship is a measurement of how closely an individual is related to the rest of the population. The degree of kinship is the same as the inbreeding coefficient of a potential offspring from two individuals. Since it is a hypothetical mating the mean kinship can be calculated from any two individuals including animals of the same sex as well as between the individual and itself (Ballou et al. 1995). RESULTS The results are based on the studbook received from the Swedish Kennel Club. The oldest record dates back to 1946 and continues through to 2005. The population The Swedish population consists of 4746 salukis and the currently living population is estimated to 1862 individuals. This indicates that a large proportion of the registered Salukis are still alive. Table 1 shows the sex distribution and ratio in both the total population and in the currently living population.

The population has grown since the first records of the breed in 1946, although some fluctuations have occurred over the years. Recently the population seems to have

stabilized around 130 registrations each year. Figure 1 shows the registration numbers between the first record in 1946 until 2005 including all registered dogs in Sweden along with imports and show dogs. The number of individuals and the sex distribution among them in the currently living population is presented in Figure 2 per each age. The average age in the population is 6.1 years for both dogs and bitches, assuming that the lifespan is 12 years.

Figure 2: Age and sex distribution among the presently living animals. Breeding In dog breeding overrepresentation of certain individuals is common. A popular stud dog often gives rise to a large amount of offspring. But to minimize the loss of genetic material the sex quota should be as even as possible (Lacy 1989). There are currently no recommendations about how many offspring a single individual should produce, but in a limited population it is easy to become overrepresented. Table 2 shows the 38 dogs that have sired more than 20 offspring and thus may be overrepresented. A lot of the dogs have sired a considerably higher amount than 20 offspring as well. Only dogs with Swedish registration number have been presented in the table, since dogs with foreign registration numbers do not reside in Sweden and are most probably being used in a potential breeding in their home country. Bitches can also produce a lot of offspring but not nearly as many as a dog during a lifetime. The number of bitches that have produced more than twenty offspring is therefore considerably smaller. Table 3 lists these 10 bitches.

Figure 3 shows the registered number of litters after a Swedish registered bitch per year. The litters registered have increased initially and have stabilized some since the 1990s. The average number of offspring per litter is 5.3. Figure 4 shows the distribution of the litter sizes. These numbers only shows the dogs that have been registered. Offspring that are stillborn or that dies at a young age are not in any records, meaning that dogs deceased before the age of 8 weeks are not registered in the Swedish Kennel Club. It is therefore hard to know the real litter sizes and how many of the offspring that have not survived. A considerable amount of stillborns could indicate an inbreeding depression.

Figure 4. The distribution of the different litter sizes. Inbreeding The average inbreeding coefficient in the total population is 4.71%. In the current living population the coefficient is 3.32%. Figure 5 shows the distribution of inbreeding in the total population, the highest inbreeding coefficient an individual has in the population is 36.93%. Onethousandninehundredthirty of the dogs are not inbred at all. Figure 6 shows the situation in the current population. The currently largest inbreeding coefficient is 33.44%. There is no indication of a correlation between the litter size and the inbreeding coefficient (linear regression, P=0.92). Figure 7 shows the plot of litter size versus the inbreeding coefficient. The negative effects of inbreeding typically include reduced fecundity and viability (Laikre 1996). Figure 8 shows that there is no correlation between the bitches inbreeding coefficient and the litter size (linear regression, P= 0.55).

Figure 8: Regression of the inbreeding coefficient of the bitch versus the litter size. Gene drop The number of founders represented in the living descendant population is 378, but the total potential number of founders is 551. Thus 158 founders have not had any offspring or at least not any living descendant. 161 founders are still alive and of those 15 have not been bred.

Figure 9. Summary over the founders in the population. Appendix I lists all the founders and their representation in the population. There is also information about the target amount of those founders’ alleles. These numbers shows if the founder is over- or underrepresented and by how much. It indicates which of the founders are of extra value to the breeders. The gene diversity (i.e. heterozygosity for unique founder alleles) in the currently living population is 0.972. However, this measure does not take into account the loss of individual founder alleles. The fact that there are 1102 potential founders alleles and only 471.6 alleles remain implies that 57.2% of the potential genetic variation has been lost. The goal in conservation genetic breeding is to keep 90% of the genetic variation after 100 years (Frankham et al. 2004). The estimated number of founder genome equivalents is 18.26, meaning that a number of 18 unrelated animals contains as much genetic diversity as the currently living population possess. Table 4.

The mean Ne over the past 6.16 generations is 115.51. Ne stands for effective population size. The effective size of a population is the size of an idealized population that would lose genetic diversity at the same rate as the real population. The current Ne estimated from 155 male and 192 female breeders is 343.06. The smaller Ne, the more rapidly the loss of variation occurs. A population with an Ne of 50 or less runs the risk of extinction and a long term viable population should have an Ne of at least 500 (Frankham et al. 2004). The mean kinship between all the individuals in the currently living population is shown in figure 10. All of the dogs in the population have a kinship of less than 6% to the rest of the population. The descendant population mean kinship is 0.028.

Figure 10: Distribution of mean kinship values in the current population. Hip joint dysplasia A total of 50 Salukis have been x-rayed, and 46 of these were evaluated using the current procedure for classification of the hips, whereas 4 individuals were evaluated using a previous criteria. The four dogs examined with the old criteria were all without remark (similar to current rank A-B) The new ranking system is as follows: Rank A= Normal hips Rank B= No dysplasia Rank C= Mild dysplasia Rank D= Moderat dysplasia Rank E= Severe dysplasia

Out of these, 158 are deceased and do not have any living descendents in the current population, and their genomes have therefore been lost. There are15 unused living founders whose genome should be preserved. These dogs are of extra value to the

20

breeders and should be used in breeding if they are healthy and a good representation to the breed. The Swedish population started out with only a few individuals in the 1940’s (probably before that that, but earlier records are unavailable at this time), but since then the population has grown considerably. Currently the population seems quite stable with registrations of around 130 Salukis per year. It is not a large breed and this may have a negative effect in the future. The vast amount of founder alleles have been lost. There are 378 founders with living descendents, but loss of alleles from this founder genome pool, and unequal breeding among the founders have resulted in only 18.26 founder genome equivalents among the living descendents of these 378 founders. This is not a high number and efforts to conserve the remaining genome should be made. Of the potential 1102 founder alleles 57.2% have already been lost. The founders who are underrepresented or not represented at all should be identified and used in the breeding program. The mean inbreeding in the total population is 4.71% and in the current living population the coefficient is 3.32%. Thus the average dog has the same amount of inbreeding as second cousins. This means that the inbreeding have decreased in recent years. This is positive, but a few of the dogs in the currently living population still has an inbreeding coefficient higher than 25% percent which is equal to a sibling mating. This is far too high and efforts to decrease inbreeding should be made. Unfortunately the response rate of the foreign kennel clubs was very low, so no good conclusions can be made. But the figures received indicates that the breed is not highly represented abroad. Large countries like USA and Australia had similar amounts of dogs as Sweden. This may mean that the worldwide population is limited and thus the genetic variation. Since the Saluki originated in the Middle East, it has diverged all over the world. The studbook used for the analyses only lists Swedish dogs or dogs that have visited Sweden. So the number of founder is quite high due to imports and traveling. The show dogs may never be used in Swedish breeding, often they only stay during a weekend and then return home. It can also be assumed that a lot of the dogs listed as founders are related to the rest of the population since the records does not go back to the founding time of the breed. The ancestors of the imports in the Swedish studbook most probably all come from the Middle East and it can be assumed that they were all once part of the same population. However the breed does not seem to be represented in large numbers abroad. In huge countries like USA and Australia there appear to be similar number of dogs as in Sweden. The genetic value of the Swedish Saluki population in respect to the worldwide population is currently not known. To address that issue, a global population genetic analysis would have to be done. This is not easy, but it would provide the means to investigate how much of the breeds genetic variation that is contained in the Swedish population.

The Saluki seems to have a fairly good genetic variation, but it is important to maintain it and breed with caution. Recommendations for the breeding program.

• The underrepresented founder genome should be paid attention to and the potential founders should be used in breeding if they are sound.

• The 15 living founders without offspring should be used in the breeding program

assuming that they are healthy.

• Continue to x-ray salukis for HD. There are still too few dogs that have been examined to statistically draw any conclusions regarding the occurrence in the breed. The results have shown that hip dysplasia is present in the population and measurements should be taken so that the affliction will not increase.

• A more even sex quota should be sought after as well as a more even

representation of the breeders. A lot of the dogs are overrepresented and this could affect the population negatively. A guideline of a maximum of offspring a dog should produce would benefit the breed.

• Litters should also be evaluated before using the parents in breeding again.

• Efforts to identify affected dogs with sudden death and immune system related

diseases should be made. This to study the hereditary effects of the diseases and the spread in the population. With this information breeding recommendations can be made to minimize these diseases in the population.
