▼ Understanding of reproductive biology in canids, including the domestic dog, is surprisingly limited. This includes the regulators of ovarian follicle development, and mechanisms of anestrus termination, fertilization and embryo development. In turn, this lack of understanding has limited our ability to develop assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for endangered canid conservation efforts. ART of interest include in vitro follicle culture for maternal genome rescue, estrus induction protocols, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here, we describe: 1) Studies evaluating the stage-specific requirements for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and activin on domestic dog follicle development in vitro. We demonstrate the beneficial effects of FSH and activin on growth, and activin on antrum expansion and oocyte health in short term culture. 2) Evaluation of serum collected during the anestrus to estrus transition revealing a significant increase in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) during proestrus, likely originating from increased numbers of antral follicles during this time. 3) The birth of the first live puppies from IVF embryos utilizing in vivo matured oocytes. Further, consistently high rates of embryo production are obtained using the described system, with no effect of progesterone supplementation to embryo culture media. Improved knowledge of the drivers of follicle development inform understanding of the resumption of estrus cyclicity, which in turn is needed to explore mechanisms of oocyte maturation prior to fertilization. In vitro fertilization is also required to assess the developmental capacity of oocytes grown from cultured follicles. Thus, these combined discoveries represent significant advancements in the understanding of canid reproductive biology and potential application to development of ART for the management of biomedical research colonies and for endangered canid conservation.

▼ Parentage testing in the domestic dog is finding increasing application for dog breed registries as well as in research. The aim of parentage verification is the correct assignment of both parents to the offspring. For accurate parentage verification informative microsatellite markers have to be identified. More powerful models to study artificial insemination in bitches will be possible if the paternity and gender of early dog conceptuses can be determined. The amelogenin gene locus has been used in bovine day six to day seven embryos for early gender determination but no research has been done on early conceptuses of the domestic dog. The aim of the current study was to establish an accurate method for parentage and gender determination from domestic dog conceptuses during early pregnancy in a multi-sire insemination trial. Semen from 10 male dogs was used in each of 12 females for artificial insemination. Blood and uterine tissue for DNA extraction was collected from males and females, and embryonic material was collected after ovariohysterectomy between 16 and 30 days after the onset of cytological dioestrus. Twenty-three microsatellite markers were used for parentage verification, and the amelogenin gene locus for gender determination. Mean observed heterozygosity, mean expected heterozygosity (HExp), and mean PIC were high (0.6753, 0.6785, and 0.628, respectively). There were 66 conceptuses. In two, neither parentage nor gender could be established because their tissue samples were contaminated. Parentage could be assigned by CERVUS 3.0.3 in 42 out of 64 of the cases (66%) without difficulty. Another 33% of the cases (21 out of 64) could be resolved using the number of exclusions, LOD scores or manual verification of genotyping errors. In one conceptus, paternity could not be established because its sire may have been either of two siblings. The gender of the female and male dogs was successfully confirmed using the amelogenin gene locus. The gender of the conceptuses was determined using the amelogenin gene locus (50% male, 50% female) but not confirmed by another method of gender determination such as karyotyping. As shown in the current study, the panel of 24 microsatellite markers used provides high information content suitable for parentage verification in multi-sire litters, as well as gender determination of early conceptuses.

▼ Free-roaming dogs, Canis lupus familiaris, can be both a public health and conservation concern. Between 2010 and 2013 we identified 2,649 dogs in four rural villages in Tanzania. We characterized dog demography and ownership practices and investigated whether vaccination influences dog population dynamics. We found that adult dogs had higher survival than puppies in all villages. We observed a male-biased sex ratio across all age classes and higher adult male dog survival. Within the vaccination villages, vaccinated dogs had a decreased risk of death. However, overall mortality in one non-vaccination village was significantly higher than in the two vaccination villages and other non-vaccination village. Dogs in poor body condition had lower survival than dogs in ideal body condition in all villages. Sickness and spotted hyena, Crocuta crocuta, predation were the two main causes of dog death. Reproductive patterns were similar between vaccination and non-vaccination villages and we observed an overall male-biased litter sex ratio regardless of the mother’s body condition. Dogs were owned and used primarily for livestock and household protection. We found that dog ownership was related to livestock ownership, household size, education, and house type. Thus, the number of dogs increases with household wealth. Stable isotope analyses of dog hair confirmed survey data and indicated that dogs were fed primarily a corn-based diet similar to human diet in the villages.Free-roaming domestic dogs in rural communities exist in the context of their human owners as well as the surrounding wildlife. Our results demonstrate that vaccination alone does not impact domestic dog population dynamics and that they may be mediated by humans. Understanding the role of dogs and their care within these communities is important for planning and implement rabies control measures such as mass dog vaccination.

▼ In this paper a closer look is taken on the concept of dominance and hierarchy in domestic dogs with five statements derived from the paper of Bradshaw and colleagues’ (2009) as guiding directories for discussion: 1) dominance is based on associative learning, 2) aggression as criteria in dominance relationships, 3) the usability of (captive) pack-theories as found in captive wolf and 4) free ranging dogs for the interpretation of domestic dog behaviour and 5) finally human-dog interactions: how is the domestic dog positioned in the human household? It is concluded that dominance cannot be purely based on associative learning for two reasons: evidence is available that heredity plays a role as well and it is not in line with the results from and knowledge of nature-nurture research to attribute behaviour purely to associative learning. Furthermore, aggression patterns appear no reliable criteria for dominance relationships; on the contrary submissive behaviours and formal dominance appears a better criteria since these provide unidirectional and linear hierarchies. Similarities between behaviours in wolf and feral dog-packs are found whereby captive wolf pack models appear to be more suitable than situations in which restrictive competitive conditions are present. Unwanted behaviours in household seem to overshadow a variety of causes and the attitude of the domestic dog has changed over time. Domestic dogs appear to be adapted to human in a certain way (e.g. affective if socialized well on humans, more alert on humans and human behaviour in a visual way as compared to wolves), what makes dogs such suitable companions. Nevertheless, it seems doubtful that essential ethological priorities and basic species specific motivations has been adapted by artificial selection in domestication processes, neither should these species specific characteristics be faded away by operant conditioning later in life. Many topics should be carefully studied and discussed in more detail before a repeatedly predictive and proofed model on hierarchy and dominance can be shifted to the past. Thus far, we advocate to be careful and never throw away the child with the bath water. Advisors/Committee Members: Vinke, C.M..

▼ The qualitative and quantitative features of the olfactory mucosa of the domestic dog and sheep were examined at light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Samples were obtained from adult and young (suckling) male dogs and sheep, each represented by groups of five animals comprising of dogs aged 15 - 24 months, puppies 4 - 6 weeks, sheep 12 - 19 months and lambs 3 - 6 weeks. The dogs and puppies were crosses between German shepherd and Rottweiler breeds while the sheep and lambs were dorpers. Variations in morphometric parameters between groups were analyzed using the Student's t-test, considered statistically significant at p < 0.05 and expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SO) The olfactory mucosa occupied the caudal roof of the nasal cavity where it lined the ethmoturbinates, which were relatively longer and with prominent folds of lamellae in the dogs and puppies. The mucosa comprised of an epithelium and a lamina propria. The epithelium was pseudostratified columnar and had the olfactory, supporting and basal cells as its principal cell types. It comprised of three histological zones named from the surface inwards as the free, non-nuclear and nuclear zones. Within the nuclear zone, each cell type established its own layer of nuclei identified as an upper layer of supporting cells, a middle layer of olfactory cells and a basal layer of progenitor (basal) cells. The thickness of the olfactory epithelium varied among the species, being significantly thicker in the dogs (72.5 ± 2.9 urn) than in sheep (56.8 ± 3.1 urn) and in puppies (64.7 ± 1.7 urn) than in lambs (47.8 ± 3.8 urn). In both species, the thickness of the epithelium increased with age (between suckling and adult age), with the olfactory cell nuclear layer contributing more to its thickening in the dog (25.9 %) than in sheep (13.1 %). Further, cell counts (per square millimeter) showed a significantly higher number of olfactory cells in the epithelium of the dog (81,667 ± 7,177 mm") as compared with that of the sheep (46,667 ± 4,924 mm'"), and an insignificant difference in the puppies (66,667 ± 4,924 mrn'") and lambs (63,333 ± 4,924 rnrn"). Within the non-nuclear zone of the olfactory epithelium, the dendrites of the olfactory cells were identified by their electron-Iuscent appearance and were joined to the apical segments of the supporting cells by occluding junctions. On the surface of the epithelium, the dendrites terminated by forming cilia-bearing knobs, whose width was significantly greater in the dogs (2.9 ± 0.1 urn) than in sheep (1.9 ± 0.2 urn), though not significantly different in the puppies (1.8 ± 0.3 urn) and lambs (1.7 ± 0.1 urn). Microvilli arising from the apical surfaces of the supporting cells intermingled with the dendritic cilia to form a dense tangle of the free zone of the epithelium, which was significantly thicker in the dogs (4.6 ± 0.3 IJm) than in sheep (3.6 ± 0.3 IJm) and in the puppies (3.3 ± 0.4 IJm) than in lambs (2.6 ± 0.2 IJm). Marked interspecies variations were…

▼ Dogs were domesticated more than 15,000 years ago, and since then they have become an integral part of human lives. They have served as hunters, guards, and pets, and have migrated with humans to multiple continents, including the Americas and Australia. The close relationship between humans and dogs makes dogs a valuable proxy when studying human history. In this study, we use ancient dog remains from the Americas to gain an understanding of their demographic and dietary history, as well as that of humans. Mitochondrial DNA sequences of the hypervariable region of ancient dogs were compared to modern and ancient American dogs to model dog demography and compare populations to identify shared haplotypes. This study identified multiple founding haplotypes, and suggested that dogs arrived to the Americas after the initial human migration. The majority of published ancient American dog DNA sequences is of the hypervariable region, so this comparison gives us the opportunity to look at the largest number of dogs across the Americas. We also sequenced complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes), to determine if mitogenome data could be used to confirm the hypotheses made about ancient American dog demography using the hypervariable region. Mitogenome sequences show a higher-resolution perspective on dog diversity, and the longer sequences revealed different aspects of dog demography. We were able to support the hypotheses that suggest that dogs migrated to the Americas with humans, and that dog populations vary in genetic diversity, but were not able to support the hypotheses that ancient and modern dogs show continuity, and that dogs arrived to the Americas later in time. We also found that ancient dog demography mirrors ancient Native American demography in specific regions of North America, such as the Pacific Coast and Southeast. Finally, we assessed the diet in dogs from the American Bottom using both stable isotopes and shotgun sequencing of dog coprolites, and used the findings about dog diet to infer human diet during the Late Woodland and Mississippian periods. We found that dogs (and humans) ate no maize during the Late Woodland Period, but were consuming large amounts of maize as early as 1010 AD, and maize was likely present in the American Bottom by 900 AD. Additionally, Mississippian dogs and humans supplemented their diet of maize with other foods including squash and fish. The analysis of the history of dogs has yielded a wealth of information about how dogs and humans interacted in the Americas.

▼ The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, presents a unique opportunity to identify and study the relationship between genotype and phenotype. Over the approximately 15,000 years since its domestication from the gray wolf, Canis lupus, the dog has undergone intense artificial selection for a variety of functional and aesthetic forms, resulting in hundreds of modern breeds that exhibit a wide range of behavior and morphology. Restrictive breeding histories have rendered each breed as a distinct genetic unit, facilitating the genetic mapping of breed-specific phenotypes. Brachycephaly, or a short, wide head, is a phenotype that is observed across a variety of breeds. However, brachycephaly has not been consistently defined or quantified and it remains unclear whether different forms of brachycephaly exist across breeds. The inclusion of brachycephalic breeds within two genetically distant breed groups, the toy dogs and the Mastiff-like dogs, supports the possibility that distinctions within the brachycephalic category exist. In addition, mouse developmental gene expression studies demonstrate that multiple genetic pathways can be manipulated to produce a brachycephalic mouse, suggesting that distinctions between brachycephalic dog breeds may correspond to different genetic mechanisms. The objectives of this dissertation are to identify patterns of morphological distinction between brachycephalic dog breeds and to draw connections between these patterns and genetic relationships among breeds and craniofacial developmental genetics in mice. The following three research questions are addressed:(1) Are there significant distinctions in the patterns of shape differences between the crania of various brachycephalic breeds and the ancestral gray wolf cranium? (2) Do any distinctions in patterns of shape differences correspond to genetic relationships between breeds? (3) Are these patterns of shape differences comparable to genetic pathways identified in mouse developmental genetic studies? Three-dimensional landmark coordinates representing craniofacial shape variation were collected from 527 adult dog crania, representing sixty-nine breeds. Dog breed crania were compared to a sample of 120 adult gray wolf crania from Alaska. Comparison of average cranial shape between groups was performed using a geometric morphometric approach, wherein landmark coordinate configurations were superimposed to remove the effects of size and orientation. Principal component and discriminant function analyses were implemented to describe the major axes of variation within each group and to identify the shape differences from the gray wolf characterizing each breed. Three distinct patterns of canine brachycephaly were observed across breeds. First, the Boxer and Bulldog breeds share a pattern of facial shortening, which, relative to the gray wolf, includes a more rostro-dorsal position of the frontal bones and a reduction in length and a dorsal tilt of the rostral nasal bones. The short snout of these…

▼ Massive parallel sequencing technologies have made a remarkable contribution in understanding the genomic complexity in human and other mammalian species. This thesis includes four studies illustrating the technology change from short-read to long-read massive parallel sequencing and the corresponding layers of genomic complexity resolved in dog and horse. In the first study, the Ion Proton sequencing platform was evaluated for whole-genome re-sequencing of four dog genomes. On average, 80 % of the genome and 77 % of the exome had at least 4-fold coverage. The obtained genotypes showed 90 % concordance with those using the CanineHD BeadChip. Next, whole-genome re-sequencing of a canine family trio was used as a proof-of-concept to map an autosomal recessive disorder termed hereditary footpad hyperkeratosis in the Kromfohrländer breed. This resulted in the identification and association of a single nucleotide variant in the FAM83G gene. In the third study, we generated the first long-read assembly of the horse MHC class II region (1.2 Mb) by assembling eight bacterial artificial chromosome clones sequenced with single molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology from Pacific Biosciences (PacBio). Detailed annotation of this assembly revealed 23 functional genes and 12 pseudogenes. In comparison to other mammals, the horse MHC showed an increased number of MHC class II genes in different relative positions and with different directionality. In the fourth study, “sequence self-similarity” of the equine MHC class II region was investigated to identify paralogous segments and to reconstruct the evolutionary history of duplication events. The results indicated a major expansion of class II loci 55-70 million years ago, coinciding with mammalian radiation. We showed that the high genomic structural diversity and plasticity of the mammalian MHC region may be a result of recurring segmental duplication events mediated either by unequal crossing-over between misaligned genomic regions or, possibly, by alternative transposition of long interspersed nuclear elements.

▼ Thirty 8 inch long polyvinyl chloride threads were used to experimentally induce pulmonary embolism in mongrel dogs. Electrocardiographic parameters in the six limb leads and blood pressures in the pulmonary artery, right ventricle and right atrium were measured before and also during a 35 day period following insertion of threads in the pulmonary artery. Exercise tolerance was assessed before and 33 days following thread insertion. At the end of the experimental period the dogs were euthanised and morphometry of their hearts studied. Similarly, morphometry of hearts from control dogs was also studied. The amplitude and frequency of Q wave in lead I, recorded during the 35 days following thread insertion was significantly lower than the baseline value. The amplitude of R wave in lead II on days 21-35 and of S wave in lead aVR on days 7-35 after thread insertion was significantly lower than the baseline value. The S wave in lead I was only present after thread insertion. The duration of the QRS complex was significantly longer than the baseline value on the 14th day after thread insertion. Five out of twelve (41.6%) dogs showed right axis deviation following thread insertion. The amplitude of T wave in leads II and III on days 2 and 3, and of aVF on days 1-3 was significantly higher than the respective baseline values following thread insertion. In leads aVR and aVL the values were significantly lower than the respective baseline value on day 3 after thread insertion. In addition in lead aVL, T wave amplitude was significantly higher than the baseline value on day 7 after thread insertion. The x following arrhythmias were noted during the 35 days following thread insertion: supraventricular premature beats, first degree heart block, ventricular premature beats, junctional tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, second degree heart block and sinus tachycardia. Immediately following thread insertion the pulmonary arterial and right ventricular blood pressures rose significantly. Thereafter the pressures dropped, but remained at levels which were still higher though not all were significantly different from respective baseline values. Right atrial pressure remained unchanged throughout the experimental period. The hearts of experimental dogs at the end of the 35 day period did not show any significant change in weight nor in right or left ventricular wall size when compared to the controls. Exercise tolerance remained unchanged throughout the experimental period. Mean rectal temperature, pulse and respiration rates during the experimental period remained within the normal range. It is concluded that for Kenya mongrel dogs whose baseline electrocardiogram has been established in the present study and also for any other dog whose baseline electrocardiogram is known, a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism could be made and the progression of the embolism followed by examining changes in the QRS complex and the T wave. Also pulmonary hypertension can be achieved using pulmonary emboli…

▼ Exposure to Anaplasma phagocytophilum and ticks in gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in northern Humboldt County, California. Granulocytic anaplasmosis is an emerging zoonotic tick-borne disease with over 1300 human cases documented in the US since 2002. Although granulocytic anaplasmosis has been documented in numerous wildlife species, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) have not been evaluated previously for exposure to this agent. During a 16 month period in 2003-2004 within the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, Humboldt County, California, 54 individual gray foxes were live-trapped, of which 16 individual foxes later were recaptured. Four tick species were found on the foxes: Ixodes pacificus adults and nymphs, Ixodes texanus adults and nymphs, D. variabilis adults, and a D. occidentalis adult. The number of I. pacificus adults found on captured foxes differed (p < 0.001) among the seasons with winter having the highest number per fox (X?? 8.4 ?? 0.97, n= 9) compared to fall (X?? 0.27 ?? 0.62, n = 22) and summer (X?? 0.71 ?? 0.59, n = 24). The number of I. pacificus removed from foxes in spring (X?? 6.1 ?? 0.77, n = 15) did not differ significantly than those removed in winter. Foxes in the backcountry had significantly more (p < 0.001) I. pacificus (X?? 4.4 ?? 0.54, n=30) than urban caught foxes (X?? 1.5 ?? 0.46, n= 40). The number of I. texanus nymphs found on captured foxes differed (p < 0.05) among the seasons with spring having the highest number per fox (X?? 6.9 ??1.75, n=15), compared to fall (X?? 0.59 ?? 1.44, n = 22), winter (X?? 0.67 ?? 2.26, n = 9) and summer (X?? 0.83 ?? 1.38, n = 24). Twenty eight of the 54 (52%) gray foxes were Anaplasma phagocytophilum seropositive by indirect immunoflorescent antibody assay (IFA). There was a significant (p < 0.001) decreasing trend in seroprevalence from summer to winter. Also, foxes trapped in areas outside human residential boundaries were more likely (p < 0.05) to be seropositive (16 of 23; 70%) than foxes trapped within the human residential boundaries (12 of 31; 39%). Twenty-eight of 90 (31%) dogs from the reservation were seropositive for antibodies against A. phagocytophilum by IFA. This seroprevalence was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in dogs compared to backcountry foxes. Six of 70 (9%) foxes were infected with A. phagocytophilum at the time of capture as determined by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of A. phagocytophilum DNA. I propose that gray foxes may serve as competent wildlife sentinels of A. phagocytophilum; I also recommend further studies to determine the abiotic or biotic factors contributing towards the differences in exposure observed between the seasons and areas.

▼ Domestic dogs are the most ubiquitous introduced carnivore species on the planet. Although the vast majority of dogs are owned as pets, a large percentage of them range freely and many have become feral, individuals that are completely wild and independent of human sources of food. The Ecuadorian Andes have long been occupied by people, and threats to biodiversity such as habitat loss and fragmentation are widely recognized and well documented. On the other hand, the threats posed by exotic species like free-ranging and feral dogs have been overlooked. I evaluated the effects of dogs on the native mammal community of the northern Ecuadorian Andes. Results suggest that the presence of dogs has detrimental effects on native mammals. Occupancy rates of dogs were the most important predictors of occupancy of four Andean carnivores (puma, Andean fox, Andean bear, and striped hog-nosed skunk) across a study area that spanned 2000 km2. In Cayambe-Coca National Park where human impacts are very low, four native mammal species (mountain coati, mountain paca, long-tailed weasel, and northern pudu) have been extirpated in areas where feral dogs are abundant, and six other showed significantly reduced relative abundance compared to areas without dogs (puma, Andean fox, Andean bear, striped hog-nosed skunk, mountain tapir, and little red brocket deer). Furthermore, the presence of dogs altered significantly the activity patterns of three species (Andean bear, mountain tapir, and little red brocket deer). The increasing number of dogs in wilderness areas have varied and complex ecological effects, influencing community dynamics in innumerable ways, including direct and indirect effects that could cascade down several trophic levels. Dogs have become a conservation, animal welfare, and public health problem in vast areas of the Ecuadorian highlands, as a result of human population growth, poor waste management practices, absence of responsible dog ownership, and low awareness of zoonotic disease issues. Dogs have negative ecological impacts, but policies so far do not focus on this species, but rather on species documented to cause economic losses, diminished food security, and public health issues. The findings of this study have implications for the protection of natural areas worldwide where domestic dogs are present; particularly those that contain endangered and endemic species.

▼ In many areas, wildlife populations have increased substantially in their local density because of a loss of natural controls or some artificially supplemented resource. These populations are often managed to avoid harmful effects on other wildlife species and human-wildlife conflicts. Many species are managed using lethal population reduction, but in those that are resistant to these means or where the method is unpalatable due to public concern, fertility control is becoming increasingly common. This method seeks to reduce the population size of some target problem species by capturing, sterilizing, and releasing individuals back into their habitat. Fertility control is often paired with vaccination programs because each has synergistic effects. Sterilization reduces the population size, making it easier to achieve a higher vaccination proportions for herd immunity. However, these programs have uncertain effects on both the basic biology, population demographics, and disease epidemiology. The current literature makes strongly countered species-specific conclusions. It is also unclear if fertility control is an effective method at reducing the population size in an economically viable way, compared to lethal removal. Here I use computer simulations, cross sectional surveys, and long-term monitoring of two populations, the street dogs (<i>Canis lupus familiaris</i>) of Rajasthan, India, and the raccoons (<i>Procyon lotor</i>) of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, to investigate what impact fertility control makes on the populations it targets. In Chapter 2, I exposed replicate simulated populations to various control schemes to see which most lowered the population size and increased vaccination coverage. In Chapter 3, I report the results of surveys of dogs from several real world Indian cities with varied histories of fertility control for several diseases. In Chapters 4 and 5, I report the results of a randomized control study on raccoons, which measured differences in parasite load and survival among control, vaccinated and vaccinated/sterilized individuals. My work demonstrates that fertility control programs can be more effective than lethal control, although the methods used to locate sexually intact individuals for treatment can significantly affect the results. In Chapter 3, I found that intact dogs living in cities with more fertility control had significantly lower prevalence of several diseases compared to those dogs living in cities with less fertility control. This is especially significant because the interventions only vaccinated against rabies, meaning that the fertility control affected local disease epidemiology. This indicates that the sterilization program buffered treated individuals’ ability to resist or spread disease enough to lower exposure to non-treated individuals. I found that sterilization and vaccination in raccoons did not affect the apparent monthly survival rates, but lowered parasite prevalence in males. However, female raccoon parasite prevalence was negatively affected by… Advisors/Committee Members: Hamilton, Ian (Advisor), Gehrt, Stanley (Advisor).

▼ This thesis is a multispecies ethnographic investigation of the transition of retired racing greyhounds to domestic pets. The key aim of this research was to understand the greyhounds’ experiences of this transition. To achieve this aim, I sought to understand the relationships that greyhounds have with both human and non-human animals over the course of their transition and how these relationships influenced the pets they became. I use the concept of rite of passage to frame greyhounds’ transition because they move from one societal role, working dogs, to another, pets, undergoing transformation in the process. My fieldwork involved a mixed methodological approach, combining participant-observation, interviews, and photography. In doing so, I gained insight into greyhounds’ own experiences of their rite of passage and not just that of the humans involved in their lives. To help me do this, I combined ethnography with ethology, the science of animal behaviour. Using ethology allowed me to learn how greyhounds used their senses to investigate and make sense of the changes in their lives, which were brought about by their transition, and how they responded to and communicated about them. I did this by interpreting their body language, body carriage, and vocalisations. Thus, greyhounds play a central role in this thesis, whilst the human is decentred. The goal of this research was to centre greyhounds, even though it is challenging to do this in text: as such this thesis is an experiment in representation. My findings suggest that greyhounds can successfully transition into pets due to breed-specific traits, such as laziness; individual dog personalities like independence; and the constructive interactions they have with both human and non-human actors. This is even though some greyhounds may find their rite of passage more difficult than others. Keywords: greyhound(s). racing dog, transition, retirement, adoption agency, (domestic) pet, multispecies ethnography, rite of passage, non-human animal, human companion, companion animal, companion species.
