        Breed Differences in Dog Behavior

        Why Tails Wag Differently

        by Renee L Ha, Tracy L Brad, James C Ha

        Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. This book covers: - the impact of inbreeding, how it contributes to problematic behavioral issues such as anxiety and aggression, and how it potentially affects the future health of the breed; - the limits of predicting a dog's behavior based upon breed, individual differences within breeds, and thus the corresponding limitations of breed-specific legislation; - guidance for professionals to help their clients better understand behavioral issues, traits, and appropriate expectations around the right breed for their household. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.

        Common-sense-Kompetenz

        Überlegungen zu einer Theorie des »sympathischen« und »natürlichen« Meinens und Verstehens

        by Helmuth Feilke

        Wie ist das fast »selbstverständliche« Funktionieren menschlicher Kommunikation möglich angesichts bzw. trotz der enormen Kontingenz, die erstens die individuelle Konstruktivität menschlicher Wahrnehmung und Kognition, zweitens die Generativität der grammatischen Kompetenz und drittens die Komplexität hochvariabler Kontexte für das Meinen und Verstehen eröffnen? Wie kommt angesichts dieser Spielräume eine hinreichend gleichsinnige Koonentierung der sozialen Akteure in der Kommunikation zustande? Inwiefern ist unsere sprachliche Kompetenz genau dieser Problematik angepaßt und durch sie bestimmt? Die Common sense-Kompetenz ist der Versuch, auf diese Fragen eine sprachwissenschaftliche Antwort zu geben. Zugleich wird damit der Anspruch erhoben, im Blick auf die Fragen des Zusammenhangs von Kommunikation, Kognition und Kompetenz die Sprachtheorie in ihr Recht zu setzen.

        Dog politics

        Species stories and the animal sciences

        by Mariam Motamedi Fraser

        Do dogs belong with humans? Scientific accounts of dogs' 'species story,' in which contemporary dog-human relations are naturalised with reference to dogs' evolutionary becoming, suggest that they do. Dog politics dissects this story. This book offers a rich empirical analysis and critique of the development and consolidation of dogs' species story in science, asking what evidence exists to support it, and what practical consequences, for dogs, follow from it. It explores how this story is woven into broader scientific shifts in understandings of species, animals, and animal behaviours, and how such shifts were informed by and informed transformative political events, including slavery and colonialism, the Second World War and its aftermath, and the emergence of anti-racist movements in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book pays particular attention to how species-thinking bears on 'race,' racism, and individuals.
