These findings suggested that, across breeds, behavior tends to become more problematic as size decreases. The study also found that brachycephalic breeds tended to obtain lower scores for predatory chasing. g. g. Irish setter) have been subject to relatively sudden and rapid fluctuations in popularity (Herzog 2006). One possible explanation for this variation in dog breed popularity is that some breeds possess temperament traits that render them functionally better at serving as pets than others.
2011). Hart and Hart (1985) pioneered the use of expert opinion as a technique for characterizing breed differences in behavior in dogs. g. g. watchdog barking, snapping at children, obedience training, destructiveness, excitability, etc. The respondents’ rankings are then converted into deciles, each containing five or six breeds, with the highest decile representing the most extreme expression of the behavior. Analysis of variance subsequently determined that each of the traits could be used to discriminate between breeds, although some did so more reliably than others.
