Rauhaarige
Elo
|
The
Elo has two size categories, Groß-Elo (standard) and Klein-Elo
(a smaller dog).
- The standard Elo is based
on crosses involving the Eurasier
(itself a new breed based on crossing the Wolf-Chow
[a mixture of Wolfsspitz and
Chow Chow], and Samoyed),
with the Old English Sheepdog and the Chow Chow.
- The smaller Elo was based
on crosses involving the Eurasier, Old English Sheepdog, Pekingese,
German Mittelspitz and Japanese
Spitz.
-
There are
also two coat-types: the normal northern spitz double coat, the glatthaar,
and a rough-coated form, the rauhaar, that reflects the Old
English Sheepdog portion of their ancestry.

of the MDR1 flanking region in the dog breed Elo" by S. Fecht,
A. Wöhlke, and O Distl. In: Berliner und Münchener Tierärztliche
Wochenschrift, May-June 2008, volume 121, issue 5-6, pg 211-215.
Drug sensitivity caused by a mutation in the canine multidrug resistance
gene is found in several breeds descended from the Collie lineage, which
includes the Old English Sheepdog, a breed used in development of the
Elo. After studying haplotypes of 177 Elos, the authors concluded that
the version of the multidrug resistance gene they found came not from
the Old English sheepdog but through the Japanese
Spitz, another founder breed for the Elo.

MDR1-1Delta Mutation in the Dog Breed Elo" by S Fecht, A Wöhlke,

Pathology, Clinical Medicine, October 2007, volume 54, p 401-5.
A deletion mutation in the canine multidrug resistance gene has been
associated with drug sensitivity in several dog breeds descended from
the Collie lineage,
which includes the Old English Sheepdog. Blood samples from 177 Elos
were examined to determine if the breed has inherited the gene from
the Old English Sheepdogs that were used in the breed's creation.

of inheritance for distichiasis in the Elo dog breed using complex segregation
analyses" (title translated) by J Kaufhold, H Hamann, G Steinbach,
S Gordon, R Brahm, H Grussendorf, CU Rosenhagen and O Distl. In: Berliner
und Münchener Tierärztliche Wochenschrift, May-June
2007, volume 120, p 232-6. The inheritance of distichiasis was analyzed
using 296 Elos, of whom 65 dogs were affected. The prevalence of distichiasis
observed was insufficiently explained by non-genetic factors and the
breed composition. In German.

Brahm, H Grussendorf, CU Rosenhagen and O Distl. In: Berliner
und Münchener Tierärztliche Wochenschrift, May-June
2006, volume 119, p 233-7. The eyes of 234 Elos were examined over a
four year period and 27.8% of the dogs showed between 1 and 31 distichia.
Litter size, the number of examinations of Elo dogs per ophthalmologist,
and the proportion of Eurasier
in the dog's background all influenced the prevalence of distichiasis.
Also, the proportion of genes of the Old English Sheepdog were just
above the significance limit of p = 0.05. In German.

on the creation of a new dog breed, the Elo, begun in 1987. One interesting
aspect of the study is the discovery that the higher the proportion
of Chow genes in puppies, the
greater the probability of stillbirth. In German.
