  • Genetics of Canine Behavior
    ACTA VET. BRNO 2007, 76: 431-444; doi:10.2754/avb200776030431 Review article Genetics of Canine Behavior K.A. HOUPT American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, Animal Behavior Clinic, Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA Received February 6, 2007 Accepted June 5, 2007 Abstract Houpt K.A.: Genetics of Canine Behavior. Acta Vet. Brno 2007, 76: 431-444. Canine behavioral genetics is a rapidly moving area of research. In this review, breed differences in behavior are emphasized. Dog professionals’ opinions of the various breeds on many behavior traits reveal factors such as reactivity, aggression, ease of training and immaturity. Heritability of various behaviors – hunting ability, playfulness, and aggression to people and other dogs – has been calculated. The neurotransmitters believed to be involved in aggression are discussed. The gene for aggression remains elusive, but identifi cation of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with breed-specifi c behavior traits are leading us in the right direction. The unique syndrome of aggression found in English Springer Spaniels may be a model for detecting the gene involved. Dog aggression, heritability, temperament Behavior is a result of nature (genetics) and nurture (learning or experience). We shall review the history of canine behavioral genetics and explore the latest fi ndings. The publication of the canine genome allows us to make some inferences (Kirkness et al. 2003). Foxes One of the most thorough studies of canid behavioral genetics deals with foxes, not dogs. Selection for a tame and for an aggressive strain of silver foxes over 30 years by Dmitry Belyaev and Lyudmila Trut resulted in large differences in behavior and in morphology (Trut et al.

In over a century of performance, the army branch adjusted to changing times and new technological advances from single-shot to multiple-shot hand weapons for a person on horseback, to rapid-fire rifles, and eventually to an even more mobile horseless, motor-mounted force. After that change, some Americans still longed for at least one regiment to be remounted on horses, as General John Knowles Herr, the last chief of cavalry in the United States Army, appealed in 1953.

  • Everything You Need to Know About Pit Bulls, and More!
    Pit Bulls: A Guide Everything you need to know about pit bulls, and more! Getting to know the breeds The term "pit bull" applies to several different breeds of medium-sized fighting terriers originally created through experimental crosses with bulldogs and terriers, originating in the 18th and 19th century Europe and America. The aim of these crosses was to combine the strength and bite of a bulldog with the athleticism, gameness, and courage of a terrier to create an all-purpose farm dog that could catch and drive cattle and hogs, clear the barn of vermin, hunt, and just do miscellaneous frontier era ranching tasks while also being a great family companion and babysitter for the kids. Later, especially after the banning of bull baiting as a sport, the focus was taken off of them as all-purpose farm dogs and they were developed and standardized as the fighting dogs we know them as today. These breeds include: The American Pit Bull Terrier: The APBT is what one generally thinks of when they think "pit bull." They are a moderate, medium sized dog that should weigh between 20 and 55 pounds, though the preferred range is probably closer to 35-50 pounds. They are happy, cheerful, athletic, eager to please goofballs that love everyone but can work their butts when called on to do so. This is why they make awesome search and rescue or hunting dogs. This breed is the original Bull and Terrier, the dog that started it all, created from crosses of old-school bulldogs and English White Terriers and standardized in 1898.

  • “Remarkable Stratagems and Conspiracies” : How Unscrupulous
    “REMARKABLE STRATAGEMS AND CONSPIRACIES”: HOW UNSCRUPULOUS LAWYERS AND CREDULOUS JUDGES CREATED AN EXCEPTION TO THE HEARSAY RULE Marianne Wesson* This essay has a somewhat different goal than the other contributions to this Symposium: rather than considering present-day ethical predicaments, it aims to inspire reflection on an episode in which improper and unprofessional conduct by attorneys contributed to the creation of the law of evidence. In particular, it considers the events that led to the formulation and enactment of a rule that persistently affects the conduct of trials even by the most responsible and ethical lawyers: the hearsay exception codified as Federal Rule of Evidence 803(3).1 The bare bones of the narrative are well-known to nearly every lawyer, as it has formed a staple of the study of the law of evidence since the date of the U.S. Supreme Court’s first decision on the matter in 1892, in Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York v. Hillmon.2 Even the lay public was transfixed by the story in its time; the tale of John Hillmon was the subject * Marianne Wesson, Professor of Law, Wolf-Nichol Fellow, and President’s Teaching Scholar, University of Colorado School of Law. The author is grateful for the excellent research and editorial assistance of Andrea Viedt in the preparation of this essay. 1. The rule provides an exception to the general rule excluding hearsay for a statement of the declarant’s then existing state of mind, emotion, sensation, or physical condition (such as intent, plan, motive, design, mental feeling, pain, and bodily health), but not including a statement of memory or belief to prove the fact remembered or believed unless it relates to the execution, revocation, identification, or terms of declarant’s will.

  • US Police and Citizen Shootings of Pit Bulls 2008
    Report: U.S. Police and Citizen Shootings of Pit Bulls 2008 by DogsBite.org | June 1, 2009 Summary: To evaluate the numerous U.S. media reports on pit bulls and their mixes shot for public safety reasons, DogsBite.org and contributor David Monroe recorded these incidences over the 12-month period of 2008. The 20-page report documents 373 incidences that involved dangerous pit bulls shot by U.S. law enforcement officers and citizens. The report tracked 12 data aspects per incident. Of the tracked incidences, 626 bullets were fired and 319 pit bulls were killed. 148 people suffered bite injury in these incidences as well. In at least three instances, the bite injury resulted in amputation. In six instances, the bite injury resulted in death. The findings also show that firearm intervention may have prevented at least eight deaths by a pit bull mauling. Information for this report was gathered through online media sources at the time of the shooting. Through the combination of Google News Alerts and web searches, 373 cited incidences are documented in this report. Additional information about the data collection process and how to access the related source documentation is located on page III.

E-mail: [email protected] 8 9 Abstract 10 Data on dog attacks on Guide Dogs’ stock were reviewed to investigate the 11 characteristics of the attacks. An average of 11.2 attacks occurred each month. 12 Nearly all of the attacks occurred in public areas, 68.4% of victim dogs were 13 qualified guide dogs and 55.5% of victim dogs were working in harness when they 14 were attacked. Guide Dogs’ stock were injured in 43.2% of attacks and veterinary 15 costs for attacks were estimated at £34,514.30. Over 40% of qualified guide dogs’ 16 working ability was affected and more than 20% of qualified guide dogs required 17 some time off from working after a dog attack. Twenty dogs were permanently 18 withdrawn from the Guide Dogs’ programme as a result of dog attacks, 13 of which 19 were qualified and working with guide dog owners at the time of the withdrawal; this 20 resulted in a financial cost of over £600,000 to the charity.
