You know that metaphor about ducks being calm on the surface but then they’re frantically paddling below the water?… turns out the dog is mildly aggrieved on the surface and absolutely not paddling frantically below 😂 #biomechanics #veterinaryphysiotherapy #caninescience #dogs

Crossbreeds carry quiet stories of heredity and chance 🐕🧬 Each lineage follows its own path through variation and resilience. Explore the science in the original post. #CanineScience #Genetics
🧬 Why do second-generation crossbreed puppies often look so different from their parents? When genetic traits recombine, nature reveals its creative diversity.

It’s National Sense of Smell Day! A dog’s sense of smell is 40 times greater than ours and it’s a big part of their life. Use today to let your dog sniff everything on the walk. After all, it’s their day!

New paper out with my fantastic colleagues of the @manydogsproject.bsky.social 🐶 We outline some of the ways that #CanineScience can increase diversity, both in the dog populations we study and the researchers leading the work #BigTeamScience #OpenScience 1/2
Would a dog in New York City respond in the same way as a dog in Kyoto?
@jespinosa.bsky.social and colleagues address how studies on domestic dogs tend to focus on a Westernized subset.

Here are our graphs showing impact of adversity by breed. We found zero evidence that pit-bull types were more impacted by adversity than other breeds, and when it came to baseline aggressive and fearful behaviour? Look at that, solidly in the middle of the pack #CanineScience 🧪 #Boom #TheEnd 4/4

Despite no good evidence, pit-bull types are frequently characterized as aggressive and dangerous. This false narrative contributes to breed-specific laws which cause relinquishments and euthanasia, and don't actually reduce serious dog bites in society 2/n #BreedSpecificLegislation #CanineScience

Dogs Binge-Watch TV, Tail Wagging Depends on Drama or Doggone Fear
#DoggyTV #BingeBarker #Pawsonality #CanineScience #FurflixAndChill **BREAKING: Study Finds Dogs' TV Habits More Complex Than Owner’s Netflix Algorithm** By: TheJestPress.com Move over, “Are You Still Watching?” Netflix—science just revealed your stiffest streaming competition: dogs and their *incredibly complex* TV habits. A brand-new study from the “Institute for Wagging Tails and Channel Surfers” confirms what every pet parent with a battered remote already knows: dogs really do watch TV, and they’re even pickier than your cousin Greg, who never leaves your couch.

In a longitudinal study of 59 litters of dog puppies, we found evidence for maternal & other early rearing effects on various behavioral & cognitive measures at ~8 weeks, as well as 6-16 months. 🐕 #CanineScience #AnimalBehavior

New dog paper out! 📢 #CanineScience

We used 2 timepoints of behavioral testing, a population pedigree, and genome-wide sequence data to estimate the heritability of various cognitive & behavioral traits in a population of assistance dogs. 🐕‍🦺🧬

Characterizing the heritability of cognitive and behavioural traits across development in domestic dogs
Abstract. In humans, many behavioural and cognitive traits are moderately-to-highly heritable, with cognitive measures tending to increase in heritability
