Genetic proof of diagnoses of leg length from morphological examination. Shepherd-bassethound 

 hybrids.

3 F 2 560^ (L) and 562$ (R). 

 4-6 F 3 s (Nos. 940-947). 



The two F.,s in figure 3 were diagnosed as pure for short (ss) and pure for long (11), respectively. 

 Offspring produced by mating these two animals (figs. 4-6) all show the intermediate leg condition 

 of the F t s, thus proving the diagnoses correct.
