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.
