Our findings suggest that employing assessments that engage other sensory modalities, especially sound, may provide additional
clues about an individual dog's behaviour.
However, and we can't stress this enough: it's
all about the individual dog, not about the breed, and a mixed - breed dog very well may end up being «the one»!
The nice thing about a good rescue is that the «staff» will most likely be knowledgeable about that breed, and since most rescues do not have shelter facilities, the dogs are often fostered in the «staff's» homes, so they will
know about the individual dogs, too.
The play time alleviates dogs» frustration from being in kennels too long and also allow us to identify and understand important information
about each individual dog that helps us to place them in appropriate homes.
it's
about the individual dog or cat's personality and the chemistry you feel together (yep, we have chemistry with animals just like we do with other humans!).
Statistical reports and summary data, which do not include information
about individual dogs, are available to researchers upon request.
I think the flaw in the genes vs how you raise them discussion is neither of them can tell
you about the individual dog in front of you.
Please do not email
us about the individual dogs we have listed here as they are all in different fosters homes across the four states that we serve.
