Dogs have 37 pairs of chromosomes. As with pairs of shoes, the number of pairs is multiplied by 2 to get the total number of chromosomes in a dog's body cells. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes in a dog's body cells is 76. Sex cells, (sperm or eggs) have half of the pair, so would have 34 chromosomes.
________
The above is incorrect, dogs have 78 chromosomes meaning they have 39 pairs.
Dogs have 39 chromosome pairs. Ian Kelly, UK

Humans and dogs only share about 25% of the exact same DNA or genome sequence. They also have a different number of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and dogs have 39 pairs.
46 chromosomes
A dog zygote contains 78 chromosomes, which is the diploid number for domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). This number is the result of the fusion of a sperm cell and an egg cell, each contributing 39 chromosomes. Thus, the zygote has a complete set of genetic material necessary for development.
All normal dogs have 37 pairs of chromosomes.
76 autosomal chromosomes and 2 sexual chromosomes.
78 pairs
The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris has a diploid number of 78 chromosomes.

Yes. All dogs have 38 pairs of autosomal chromosomes (inheriting one from each of their parents) and two sex chromosomes.
There's no good reason for it; the number of chromosomes an animal has doesn't really have much to do with anything.
Dogs have 78 chromosomes in their diploid cells. This means they have 39 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Their gametes, or sex cells, are haploid with 39 chromosomes each, resulting from the process of meiosis where the number of chromosomes is halved.

No. Different species have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes, domestic cats have 38 chromosomes, and domestic dogs have 78 chromosomes.
