| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> This study was carried out to determine the basic exterior
characteristics of Serbian Yellow Hounds in southern
Serbia.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> Research was conducted through
measuring of exterior on 37 Serbian yellow hounds (20
males and 17 bitches) aged 1-9 years. Six exterior parameters
(height at withers, body length, head length, skull
length, nozzle length, chest circumference) were measured.<p>
<b>Results:</b> In males and bitches of the Serbian Yellow Hounds,
average height at withers was 52.41±0.71 cm, average
body length was 60.91±0.68 cm, average head length was
23.53±0.24 cm, average skull length was 12.03±0.17 cm, average
nozzle length was 11.53±0.15 cm, and average chest
circumference was 64.15±0.97 cm, respectively. When the
measurements were separately evaluated as male and bitch
of the dogs, differences between the genders were statistically
significant (p<0.05) for all measurement except for
nozzle length. Dogs are classified according to their age,
differences between young (≤1 year) and mature (>1 year)
dogs were statistically insignificant for all metrics (p>0.05).
Correlations among the all measurement values except for
between skull length and nozzle length were statistically
significant (p<0.05).<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Further research of dogs on other mentioned
locations in Serbia is necessary and all parameters necessary
for standard creation and systematic breeding of Serbian
yellow hound must be determined, based on thus obtained
data. |
