• Breed Differences in Domestic Dogs' (Canis familiaris) Comprehension of Human Communicative Signals (2009, background): “However, a recent paper did not find differences between breeds in a human-focused social behavior, detour-following ability (Pongracz et al 2005).”
• Human-directed gazing behaviour in puppies and adult dogs, Canis lupus familiaris (2011, background): “…to temperament (Scott & Fuller 1965; Wilsson & Sundgren 1997; Serpell & Hsu 2005) or problem-solving behaviour (Scott & Fuller 1965; Frank & Frank 1982, 1985; Pongrácz et al. 2005); however, very few have investigated the potential differences relating to interspecific communicative skills.”
