title: Studies on the inheritance of hair loss in the Irish water spaniel.
abstract: The inheritance of hair loss in Irish water spaniels has been studied by evaluating the inbreeding levels and genetic relationships in a group of affected and unaffected dogs. A detailed study of the pedigree tree of four families revealed a familial predisposition suggesting a dominant mode of inheritance.
