Although dominance is correctly a property of relationships, it has been erroneously used to describe a supposed trait of individual dogs, even though there is little evidence that such a trait exists.
Use of memantine in treatment of canine compulsive disorders
The results suggest that memantine may be an effective, well-tolerated option for the treatment of CCD either as a sole treatment or as an add-on to fluoxetine.
Immunohistochemical features of dystrophic axons in papillon dogs with neuroaxonal dystrophy
The accumulation of alpha-synuclein in the dystrophic axon and region-specific appearance of calcium-binding protein-positive spheroids are considered as unique features in neuroaxonal dystrophy of Papillon dogs, providing the key to elucidate the pathogenesis.

What we really want is evidence of tachypnea at rest. Dogs with chronic respiratory disease generally breathe normally at rest, but cough. Dogs with CHF have tachypnea with or without coughing.
