Genetics and the Social Behavior of the Dog

Genetics and the Social Behavior of the Dog is a seminal work in the field of animal behavior. The book explores the relationship between genetics and social behavior in dogs, drawing on extensive research conducted by the authors. Scott and Fuller argue that social behavior in dogs is largely determined by genetic factors, and that selective breeding can be used to produce dogs with specific behavioral traits. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the evolution of the dog, the genetics of behavior, and the role of socialization in shaping behavior. The authors also discuss the practical applications of their research, such as the use of dogs in law enforcement and the military. Genetics and the Social Behavior of the Dog is an important resource for anyone interested in animal behavior, genetics, or the history of dog breeding.
