Hello.

I am a high school Biology teacher and starting an upcoming unit on Genetics. Over half my students own or have owned pitbulls. I want to make this unit interesting to them by tying in dominant/recessive/phenotype/genotypes to real life breeding situations with pitbulls and realife traits that we see in pitbulls. First, I need to teach myself before I teach them.

Any useful websites?

What physically and behavior traits do people breed for?

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks,

Kelly
