Canis lupus familiaris, the domesticated dog, is a mammal with a great amount <strong>of</strong> variety<br />
within the species. The high amount <strong>of</strong> variability makes dogs very interesting to study.<br />
This study is attempting to find if there is any correlation between the ratio <strong>of</strong> the length <strong>of</strong><br />
a dog’s humerus compared to it’s radius and the length <strong>of</strong> it’s trotting stride. The results<br />
showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the 3 classifications <strong>of</strong><br />
dogs studied. Dogs with a humerus to radius ratio <strong>of</strong> 0.65-0.89 and dogs with a humerus to<br />
radius ratio <strong>of</strong> 1.05-1.30 showed a significantly shorter stride (ANOVA, p=6.39 x10 -22 ,<br />
