Abstrakt: If individual dogs are classified in groups according to behavioral measures, do those groupings correspond to the grouping by breed characteristics? A total of 101 dogs of five different breeds were measured on 42 behavioral and somatic variables, and these were reduced to 16 factors. By using the 15 behavioral factors in the Taxonome program, a separation roughly corresponding to the different breeds was achieved. It is argued that a genetic determination of this sample of behavior variables is indicated. The mean profile for each breed is set out.
