Dog coat color shows personality

It is possible to predict the character of a puppy based on its fur color, at least with the UK's sleek, slender coke. The latest research shows that the red-yellow fur has the most aggressive and fierce behavior.

Black-haired dogs have a second degree of violence while multicolored (white-haired with color spots) are more benign. A previous study also showed that the coat color relates to the personality of the dog that picks up things for the owner. With this species, the most ferocious animal has yellow fur, followed by black fur and the most gentle is the chocolate-colored feather.

"It is possible that the relationship comes from the fact that the epidermis layer (one of the three major embryonic cell layers) is where the skin and central nervous system originates in the embryo," study author Joaquín Pérez-Guisado At the Department of Animal Surgery at the University of Cordoba, Spain, said.

He and his colleagues measured the level of dominance and aggression in 51 7-week-old coke dogs who were siblings or fathers or mothers.

The study explores how animals react quickly to human movements, follow people, how to react when constrained, their level of dominance, and what to do when lifted. off the ground.

In many cases, yellow-haired dogs oppose human habitation and even try to bite back, while multicolored feathers often wag their tails and enjoy being noticed.

Although the gene that makes up the coat color and decides part of the personality in dogs, Pérez-Guisado thinks how the dog is raised plays the biggest role in their behavior. He said environmental factors accounted for 80% of repressive and ferocious personality, while genes only affected 20% of their behavior.

"It is important for dogs to have a suitable habitat to reduce their level of aggression. So the owner will be responsible for the unwanted behavior of his pet," he said. .
