Presenter: Linda Ellis
I have a graduate degree in Biomedical Science from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. I taught multiple courses in the Biology Departments at Monmouth University in New Jersey and St. George's University in Grenada. While living in Grenada, I became acquainted with the local dogs, which prompted to me to learn about the origin of dogs in general and the development of the modern breeds in particular.
