Abstract

The study included 60 clinically healthy dogs of two Croatian indigenous breeds: the Posavaz Hound and the Tornjak Hound. Their ages ranged from 2 months to 8 years. Determination of blood group DEA 1.1. (Dog Erythrocyte Antigen) was performed using tests based on serological agglutination reaction. The blood of dogs that showed a positive reaction to the blood group DEA 1.1., intensity of agglutination (low, medium and strong) was determined. The Posavaz Hound breed showed 60% of dogs positive for DEA 1.1. group, and the Tornjak Hound breed showed 53.3% positive. In the Tornjak Hounds the strongest positive reaction was found for the largest number of individuals (56.3%), while in the Posavaz Hound breed for most individuals the lowest positive response was determined (55.6%). The strongest intensity of reaction was found in Tornjak Hound females and the lowest in Posavaz Hound males. Using Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square tests no statistical difference was determined between the positive reaction intensity of Posavaz and Tornjak Hound DEA 1.1. blood groups.
