The dog is a potential model to study chromosome aberrations in leukemic cells. Similar to man, dog with leukemia frequently have chromosomal abnormalities and analysing these changes may provide diagnostic prognostic therapeutic and aetiopathogenic information in a way not possible in other species. The chromosomal analysis in leukemic dogs and the evaluation of dog as an animal model for the study of leukemia have been discussed by Carol et al.,(1986).
