noise, responsiveness to commands, ease of gate entrance were
positively correlated with learning ability (0.27, 0.25, 0.35, 0.30,
resper:tively). Concentration was positively correlated with
responsiveness to commands (0.36), friendliness towards people
(0.28), trainability (0.29), learning ability (0.42) and consistent
emolionality (0.40). The high heritability values observed in this
study suggest that temperamental traits could be used as
selec-ti0n targets to specialize the animals according to different
breeding purposes.
inbreeding was 42.42. Aregular monitoring of genelic variabilitv of
the breed is important and must be adopted, in order to al'oid lhe
danger of an excessive increase o[ inbreeding in the future, which
would result in significant inbreeding depression and in signilìcirnt
loss of genetic variation.

The availabilig of affordable genome-wide SNP genotyping
tech-nologies prompted in the last years a wide collaborative study, which
provided unprecedented insights into the phylogeographic structure
of the world-wide sheep population. Horveve1 the original sheep
sample colìection did not include Western Balkans and Central
European sheep populations, which may represent a valuable
resource to underutand historical pattern of migrations from the
domestication cenlre and to fully reconstruct global sheep genetic
structule pattems. We genol-vpetl 96 animals from 19 different
sheep populations, mainly belonging t0 the Pramenka group, from

llraques franqais are hunting dogs, from a very old type of gun
dog used for pointing the location of game birds for a hunter. There
are two breeds of Braque frangais, both from the South of France,
the Braque frangais type Gascogne (larger size) and the Braque
franqais type tlrenées (smaìler size). The original Braque frangais
type ofpointing dog has existed since the fifteenth century. The first
breed club was formed in 1850, and the standards for both breeds
rvere written in 1880. Both types belong to group 7 of ENCI
classifi-cation. The complete electronic record of the Braque franqais gpe
fuÉnées was downloaded from the ENCI database with the aim to
estimate the genetic variability of the breed. In ltaly 921 puppies
(479 maìes and 442 females) werc registercd from 2003 to 2014
{average value: 76.6t40.24 dogs per year). Pedigree records of all
registered animals (Reference Population=RP) were considered.

rvhole population (!VP=RP and its genealogi) included 1,250
dogs (826 males and 622 females). 783 dogs were inbred. Up to Eg%
oflhe individuals had registered parents and 83% registered
grand-parenls. To explain 50% of ùe genetic variability, a total of 9 and ?
anceston were enough, respectively in the WP and RP The average
inbreeding coefficient in the RP rcsulted 4.3%, while the average
inbreeding of tle inbred was 5.19%. The inbreeding coefficient was
<0.05 in 5l I dogs (65.3% of inbred) whereas it was >0.20 in only 13
dogs (l.66% of inbred). Inbreeding coefficient per year ranged f'rom
0.989ó for dogs bom in 2003 (27 dogs) to 7.05% in 204 dogs born in
2009. Puppies born in 2014 had an average inbreeding coefficient of
1.78%. Ten ùaced generations were highlighted; the maximum
avera{le inbreeding value (6.62%) was observed in the dogs with l0
lraced genentions (inbred: 93.15% with an inbreeding average
value of 7.1l%) while Ne for RP computed via individual increase in
