Dog Breed pp

Submitted by cdkelly on Fri, 10/26/2018 - 13:01

Huskies are a breed that is most closely related to their ancestor and therefore would be the best choice for the repopulation. This is because it would allow for a similar genetic divergence overtime. After many years, the diversity of dog breeds that was available would have the potential to return to what it once was. I emphasize that this would take a very long time, but I firmly believe that Huskies would be an excellent place to start. Furthermore, Huskies are not only friendly dogs, but they also can serve a purpose. They traditionally are known as a working breed because they can pull sleds carrying goods and people in places that do not have roads. Running long distances is an easy feat for a Husky and gives them a purpose beyond being a loving companion. This demonstrates that they are a dependable and capable breed suitable for repopulation of domestic dogs.

I would restructure the latter half of this paragraph in such a way that introduces the traditional use (role?) of huskies and then later state that because of this role, they serve multiple purposes.

Nice paragraph. I would try to rearrange this sentence "huskies are a breed that is most closely related to their ancestor and therefore would be the best choice for the repopulation. This is because it would allow for a similar genetic divergence overtime. " Maybe instead of saying "therefore they would be the best choice.." You could say "huskies are a breed that is most closely to their ancestors as they allow for a similar genetic divergence over time. Therefore, they would be a good choice for repopulation because..." I feel like that would make the two sentences flow better.

Clarify who the ancestors are. "Huskies are most closely related to domestic dogs' ancestor, wolf. Thus, preserving them would allow for a similar genetic divergence overtime"
