There are many breeds of dogs. For some, such as Lauren Rogers and her husband, who did not grow up with dogs, the breed was a decisive factor in choosing their dog. “We have always heard that Golden Retrievers are very good family dogs. “really fun,” Rogers said. “That’s why we chose him.” Through Darwin’s Ark, researchers examined 18,385 dog owners and studied the genetics of 2,155 dogs, including purebreds and mixed breeds. The results were published in the current issue of Science. The study shows that the breed explains only 9% of the dog’s behavior. “As someone who has not had a dog before, I was surprised by it. “So I thought when you chose a Golden Retriever, you would have the same type of dog everywhere,” said Rogers. He said that these new data prove that what he has observed in the last two years is not unique. one D “Some things that people look like, ‘Oh, these are typical features of the Golden Retriever,’ I’ve not seen in Izzo, our dog, and some things I expected just did not fit, so ”s very funny,” Rogers said. Bonny Wainz has been training dogs for decades and is not surprised by the results of the study. She says she constantly tells her customers, “there is always food and then nature”. Wainz was never the one to nominate a dog from his breed. When referring to a chihuahua, he said, “This dog knows how to sit, he knows how to stay, he knows how to calm down, he knows how to relax, he knows how to do all these things. Although all we want to do is have them and caress them. “ New research also reveals that a dog’s behavior and personality are shaped more by their genetics and environment, something Wainz has been explaining to her clients for years.
