• Trainability and boldness traits differ between dog breed clusters based on conventional breed categories and genetic relatedness (2011, methodology): “For example, Svartberg (2006) did not find behavioural differences in curiosity/fearlessness, aggression, playfulness, and sociability among four FCI-based breed groups, whereas Ley et al. (2009) reported differences in five questionnaire scales in seven breed groups recognised by the Australian…”
• Dog Breeds and Their Behavior (2014, background): “…general kinds of breed differences in behavior in dogs, including standardized behavioral tests (Scott and Fuller 1965; Svartberg and Forkman 2002; Svartberg 2006), expert opinions (Bradshaw and Goodwin 1998; Hart and Hart 1985; Hart and Miller 1985; Takeuchi and Mori 2006), and questionnaire…”
• Human-directed gazing behaviour in puppies and adult dogs, Canis lupus familiaris (2011, background): “…shown that recent selection, with its emphasis on physical as opposed to temperament traits has significantly affected the breed’s typical behaviour (Svartberg 2006); thus one cannot be sure that dogs today mirror the ‘cooperative’ versus ‘independent’ working roles they were originally selected…”
• Behavioral differences among breeds of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris): Current status of the science (2014, background): “This latter argument should be made with caution, as the intensity of selection for practical purposes has been fading as the importance of dog companionship and breeding for appearance has risen, particularly in Western societies (Svartberg, 2006).”
• Horse personality: Variation between breeds (2008, methodology): “Furthermore, Svartberg (2006) demonstrated that recent selection pressures (mainly breeding for the show ring) have significantly affected breed-typical behaviours in dogs.”
• Traits and genotypes may predict the successful training of drug detection dogs (2007, background): “There are more than 400 canine breeds differing in external morphology and behaviour (Hart and Hart, 1985; Bradshaw et al., 1996; Svartberg, 2006), suggesting that genes underlie these morphological and physiological traits (Saetre et al.”
