AI portrait
About this portrait

This portrait was algorithmically built from this dog's genome: their genotype at 8 morphology loci (coat length, curl, color, ear set, body size, head shape, skull, furnishings) plus their position within the 14,478-dog atlas. The same dog always reproduces the same portrait. A different dog with different alleles gets a different portrait.

PFZ14B04_PFZ14B04

PFZ14B04_PFZ14B04 is labelled Village Dog Brazil in the Hayward2016 cohort - a catch-all CanVAS label, not a literal ancestry call. One of 14,478 dogs who built the atlas.

About PFZ14B04_PFZ14B04

PFZ14B04_PFZ14B04 sits at the edge of the Village Dog Brazil cluster but still well within it.

  • Predicted medium by the six body-size genes the atlas reads (IGF1, HMGA2, SMAD2, LCORL, STC2, ADAMTS17).
  • Standard leg length. No chondrodysplasia retrogene variant.
  • Smooth coat. No wire-furnishings variant at RSPO2.

PFZ14B04_PFZ14B04's breed

PFZ14B04_PFZ14B04's genome decomposes mostly into Doberman Pinscher, with additional weight on German Shepherd, Belgian Shepherd, and Golden Retriever.

Breed similarity from non-negative least squares against 91 breed centroids in PCA-256 space, corrected for atlas sample-size imbalance. Without correction, Goldens (22% of the atlas) leak into every dog's raw NNLS breakdown; with it, the bias falls out. Raw fractions stay in the dataset for re-derivation. Methodology.

  1. Doberman Pinscher 34%
  2. German Shepherd 32%
  3. Belgian Shepherd 25%
  4. Golden Retriever 9%
