Significant genetic variance implies that EBV-based selection could be implemented to support more accurate identification of genetic predisposition by incorporating extended pedigree information, and controlling for environmental effects such as the highly significant assessor effect observed here and elsewhere [ 58 ].We found that in Bulldog and Pug, the number of dogs with highly accurate EBVs already exceeded the number of phenotyped dogs, illustrating effective dissemination of information from phenotyped dogs through related individuals.
