Placed on this panel from 4 sequenced dogs, among 258 breeds.

The 12 breeds nearest to Landseer.
The line starts at the tightest pairing this panel holds and ends at the widest separation measured on it, so how far along these marks sit is the answer to how close Landseer really is to anything.

Bernese Mountain DogCloseness is measured from the genomes, and nothing else. It has no units and no dates. Two breeds sitting close together means their lines separate late in this data. It does not mean either one came from the other.
4 sequenced dogs is a thin sample. This breed’s exact neighbours could move if more were added; the neighbourhood is steadier than the order within it.
