SUMMARY:The term Podencos refers to a group of dog breeds from Spain and classification in Group 5 of dog breeds by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). The aim of this study was to compare traits morphometric breeds of Podencos; Canario, Ibecenco, Andaluz (small, medium and large) and Orito. Ten morphometric variables were measured in 385 animals (245 females and 140 males), head length, muzzle length, height at withers, rump height, body length, head width, rump width, chest depth, chest girth and the shin circumference. Morphostructural variables were more homogeneous in the Podenco Ibicenco and the Podengo Canario, because for many years there were gradually distinctive trait standards for each breed. The discriminate analysis indicated morphostructural differences between all breeds, as reflected in the significant Mahalanobis distance, and confirmed that the hound Orito may be accepted as a different dog population.
Esta investigación fue realizada en Pacho, Cundinamarca, Colombia, donde se evaluaron vacas de la raza criolla Blanco Orejinegro (BON), tomando un total de 18 medidas Morfométricas por animal; con la ayuda de algunos materiales tales como cinta métrica y bastón zoométrico. Estas medidas permitieron la elaboración de una matriz de correlaciones para definir si estos animales responden a un modelo armónico; determinando así la “Caracterización Morfométrica de la Raza”. Según el análisis de correlaciones, se encontró que en el 88,23% de los casos existe una correlación positiva entre las variables. Por lo que se define que estos animales de raza BON, poseen un alto grado de armonicidad en su modelo morfoestructural.
