• Are there differences between behavioral measurement methods? A comparison of the predictive validity of two ratings methods in a working dog program (2012, unknown): “Subjective ratings (SR) attempt to evaluate global behavior of the subject, and are based on a human scorer’s overall perception of the dog’s aggregate behavioral disposition, sometimes (but not always) irrespective of a test situation (e.g., Hsu and Serpell, 2003; Ley et al., 2009).”
• Trainability and boldness traits differ between dog breed clusters based on conventional breed categories and genetic relatedness (2011, unknown): “…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).”
• Behavioral differences among breeds of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris): Current status of the science (2014, background): “Extraversion and training focus were the only characteristics of trainability that were significantly different among the seven breed groups recognized by the Australian National Kennel Council (Ley et al., 2009).”
• Dog Breeds and Their Behavior (2014, methodology): “…(2011) also found that herding and sporting dog breeds tended to obtain higher scores for trainability (although measured in different ways), and Ley et al. (2009) also detected positive associations between small body size and neuroticism (i.e. anxiety-related behavior) and less sociable…”
