Behavioural testing in dogs: A review of methodology in search for standardisation (2006, background): “The dog’s behavioural responses can be measured by either objectively noting frequencies and durations, or scoring them with a number grading the intensity of responses (Svartberg and Forkman, 2002), or subjectively noting them according to the observer’s experience (Gosling, 2001; Ruefenacht et al.”
Trainability and boldness traits differ between dog breed clusters based on conventional breed categories and genetic relatedness (2011, unknown): “Finally, trainability showed even lower heritability (0.01–0.16, reviewed in Ruefenacht et al., 2002).”
Are there differences between behavioral measurement methods? A comparison of the predictive validity of two ratings methods in a working dog program (2012, unknown): “However, both SR (Ruefenacht et al., 2002; Wilsson and Sundgren, 1997a) and BR (Svartberg and Forkman, 2002) reliability has been evaluated empirically, and results indicate that both ratings methods often correlate with behavioral codings made on the same subjects (De Meester et al.”
Temperament and personality in dogs (Canis familiaris): A review and evaluation of past research (2005, methodology): “…suitable as working dogs and potentially to breed future generations of working dogs. c These studies reported the average age of dogs assessed. d Ruefenacht et al. (2002) gathered data through the Swedish German Shepherd Dog breeding club, which strives to evaluate whether dogs are physically…”
Genetic variation in aggression-related traits in Golden Retriever dogs (2007, background): “, 2004), and other working behaviour traits in German Shepherd and Labrador Retriever (Wilsson and Sundgren, 1997; Ruefenacht et al., 2002; Strandberg et al., 2005).”
Personality and performance in military working dogs: Reliability and predictive validity of behavioral tests (2010, methodology): “Likewise, sex differences have also been reported to influence working outcomes in some dogs (Goddard and Beilharz, 1982; Wilsson and Sundgren, 1997b; Ruefenacht et al., 2002), but not in others (Fuchs et al., 2005).”
