Breeding or grooming? (Letters).Reading Ancient gene takes grooming in hand" (SN: 1/12/02, p. 20), I wondered about other species. I have a golden retriever golden retriever, breed of large sporting dog developed primarily in Scotland in the mid-19th cent. It stands about 23 in. (58.4 cm) high at the shoulder and weighs from 60 to 75 lb (27.2–34.1 kg). that licks her legs to the point of making them raw. I had thought it was a nervous habit learned as a puppy puppy the young of the canine species; usually used up to the age of 12 months. fading puppy syndrome see fading kitten/puppy syndrome. puppy pyoderma see impetigo. , then a previous golden retriever owner told me that it is a trait of the breed. I am now wondering whether it might also tie in to the Hox gene.
