To do so, we combined cognitive data from the citizen science project Dognition.com with published breed-average genetic polymorphism data, resulting in a dataset of 1654 individuals with cognitive phenotypes representing 49 breeds.
Jan 1, 2019 · Variation across dog breeds provides a unique opportunity for investigating questions about the evolution and biological basis of complex traits. For example, studies of breed differences have led to major advances in our understanding of the genetics of diseases, including cancer,

Breed differences in dog cognition 2 18 Abstract : Given their remarkable phenotypic diversity, dogs present a unique opportunity for 19 investigating the genetic bases of cognitive and behavioral traits.
Scott and Fuller (1965) performed a pioneering study of breed differences and inheritance of canine behavior. Their experiment involved dogs of five breeds: basenji, beagle, American cocker spaniel, Shetland sheepdog and wire-haired fox terrier. Breeds and their crosses were compared for reactivity, trainability and problem-solving behaviors.

Jul 29, 2020 · Our previous work demonstrated that genetic relatedness among breeds accounts for a substantial portion of variation in dog cognition. Here, we investigated the genetic architecture of breed differences in cognition, seeking to identify genes that contribute to variation in cognitive phenotypes.
