Abstract
Seventy two healthy dogs of three different breeds were used to study the ECG pattern. Significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between the breeds with respect to heart rate, duration of QT interval and mean electrical axis. The heart rate was highest in Dobermann Pinschers followed by Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds respectively. The QT interval was longest in Labrador Retrievers. The mean electrical axis was highest in German Shepherds, followed by Dobermann Pinschers and Labrador Retrievers.
