Considering the high level of inbreeding in the Lupo Italiano dog, the aim of the study was to verify if molecular data, in addition to the genealogic ones, can be used as a tool for a better genetic discrimination between individuals. The microsatellite markers proved to be an effective tool in the Lupo italiano dog to select mating subjects with the highest within and between individuals diversity, hence to provide additional information to implement more adequate mating programmes.

Abstract
Considering the high level of inbreeding in the Lupo Italiano dog, the aim of the study was to verify if molecular data, in addition to the genealogic ones, can be used as a tool for a better genetic discrimination between individuals. The microsatellite markers proved to be an effective tool in the Lupo italiano dog to select mating subjects with the highest within and between individuals diversity, hence to provide additional information to implement more adequate mating programmes.
