A genetic study involving more than 2,100 pet dogs finds that breed alone is a poor predictor of your pooch’s behavior.
roughly 10,000 years ago, which hasn’t been long enough for them to accumulate that much genetic diversity. When it comes to evolutionary debates, this one is a major dogfight.
Jack, who is one-quarter American pitbull terrier, was included in the study about dog breeds and behavior. Fortunately, the rest of the dogs in the study were mutts whose ambiguous ancestry left their owners comparatively free of any preconceived notions about their background or behavior. They served as a control group, of sorts.
If breed were a strong predictor of behavior, it stands to reason those breeds’ traits would have shown up to some extent among the mutts with those breeds’ DNA.The domestication of dogs by humans was so inevitable, it may have happened more than once, according to a new study.
