This is the re-released second part of a the two part conversation.

Dr Russell Chandler and Dr Eleanor Raffan delve deeper into her own research on genomics, gene mutations and obesity-risk in the Labrador retriever breed.

The winning genetic formula for the historical working Labrador in the harsh Canadian environment may turn out to be a losing genetic formula in temperate climates and more comfortable domestic lifestyles.

Dr Raffan offers her top tips on how, knowing some of the genetic factors at play, adipose tissue gain may be prevented, and thereby the prevalence of joint pathologies may be reduced
