• Trainability and boldness traits differ between dog breed clusters based on conventional breed categories and genetic relatedness (2011, neutral): “…previously detected by several other researchers (e.g. trainability: Bradshaw and Goodwin, 1998; Hsu and Serpell, 2003; boldness: Svartberg and Forkman, 2002; neuroticism (reverse to our calmness): Ley et al., 2009; dog-directed aggression (reverse to our dog sociability): Hsu and Serpell, 2003).”
• A comparison of behaviour in test and in everyday life: evidence of three consistent boldness-related personality traits in dogs (2005, methodology): “…‘‘dog-directed fear or aggression’’, ‘‘separation-related behaviour’’, ‘‘attachment or attention-seeking behaviour’’, ‘‘trainability’’, ‘‘chasing’’, ‘‘excitability’’, and ‘‘pain sensitivity’’ (Hsu and Serpell, 2003; the behavioural categories and the representative items in the CBARQ are 2 The…”
• Measuring attention deficit and activity in dogs: A new application and validation of a human ADHD questionnaire (2007, neutral): “The problematic point of this line of studies is that apart from few exceptions (Hsu and Serpell, 2003) the psychometric properties (validity) of these questionnaires were not studied so the scientific reliability of the data obtained this way are uncertain.”
• Factors associated with aggressive responses in pet dogs (2010, methodology): “The Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ ), modified from PennBARQ (Hsu and Serpell, 2003), is a survey designed to measure behavior and temperament traits in pet dogs.”
• Behaviour and experiences of dogs during the first year of life predict the outcome in a later temperament test (2014, methodology): “At present, the most widely used survey is the Canine Behaviour Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ), which was developed based on data from more than 2000 dogs representing more than 100 breeds (Hsu and Serpell, 2003).”
• Minimizing fear and anxiety in working dogs: A review (2016, methodology): “When assessing Rough Collies Arvelius et al. (2014b) found similar heritability values for test scores and also relatively high correlations between fearbehavior during testing and that reported by owners using the Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire (CBARQ, Hsu and Serpell, 2003”
• Dog Breeds and Their Behavior (2014, methodology): “Dogs that score high on this factor tend to stay close to their owners, solicit more affection and attention, and display agitation when the owner gives attention to third parties, such as other people or dogs (Hsu and Serpell 2003).”
• Temperament and personality in dogs (Canis familiaris): A review and evaluation of past research (2005, background): “…to this dimension by researchers included ''excitability'' (Goddard and Beilharz, 1982–1983; Hart et al., 1983; Hart and Miller, 1985; Hart, 1995; Hsu and Serpell, 2003; Ledger and Baxter, 1996, 1997; Murphy, 1995; Serpell, 1983; Stephen et al., 2001; Stephen and Ledger, 2003), ''sound…”
• Breed differences in canine aggression (2008, methodology): “Using a sample of 200 clinical referral cases, the construct validity of these subscales was established by confirming their effectiveness at discriminating between dogs independently diagnosed as either displaying or not displaying corresponding behavior problems (Hsu and Serpell, 2003).”
• Effects of breed, sex, and neuter status on trainability in dogs (2005, methodology): “7), and the first seven were found to be valid in the sense that they discriminated effectively between dogs independently diagnosed as either displaying or not displaying corresponding behavior problems (Hsu and Serpell 2003).”
• Genetic variation in aggression-related traits in Golden Retriever dogs (2007, methodology): “Examples of the first method include the aggression test developed by Netto and Planta (1997), and of the latter method the Canine Behavioural Assessment and Research Questionnaire (CBARQ) developed by Hsu and Serpell (2003).”
