Dogs, like humans and most mammals, inherit their mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA exclusively from their mothers.

Mitochondrial DNA (mDNA) is passed down maternally because the egg cell contributes the vast majority of cytoplasm
—and thus the mitochondria-to the fertilized egg, while s***m mitochondria are typically eliminated after fertilization (it’s a long swim!). This pattern of inheritance is well-established in mammals.

When looking at puppies most will only care to look at the sire or father thinking that’s the cream of the crop. In reality, it’s important to look at the mother because thats where most of the health, energy production and aging cell death will come from in the species.

You want a healthy, strong, good looking bitch more so than the sire. If the male is appealing and vigorous it is considered the icing on the cake. The qualities of a powerful well built male will produce a great litter ONLY if the female possesses sustained energy, clear thinking, good physical stamina, quick recovery from injury and strong immunity (all signs of strong mtDNA).

If the mother is slow to heal, has weak muscle, persistent low energy and is bred with a perfect stud the puppies won’t be ideal. That is how important the health and quality of the female is in mammalian offspring.

Wild animals choose mates naturally through pheromones. The smell of a genetically different immune system ensures optimum heritability. For domestic breeding- If you use this understanding as a gauge you will surpass your expectations.

An hour to a dog feels much longer, often estimated as 3 to 7 human hours. Their faster metabolism and sensory processing make time seem slower, a concept called temporal compression; so, a short walk feels epic, a hike or trail run euphoric. When you shut that door and leave a few hours alone can feel like forever, leading to intense reactions when you return.

Based on a ratio of 1:7 — 1 week would feel like 49 dog days.
A human month would be 7 months for a dog and a year 365 human days would feel like 7 years to a dog. There is nothing more meaningful to your dog than your time.
