Dan McDonough 560 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I can't for the life of me, remember where I read this but for those that don't know here's a good piece of information that should answer some questions. The male in a pair contributes the genes responsible for making the upper part of the brain. It's the area responsible for emotions, character and the "way" animals think. The female contributes the genes responsible for making the lower part of the brain. It's responsible for the intellect or the IQ of the animal. In short, the male determines the personality and the female determines the smarts. It's not that a lot of people weren't already aware of this but this study was clear evidence and proof is better than theory, all day long. If I can find the paper again I'll post a link but the search is not going well. I wish I would have saved it but I was pretty sleepy when I read it. Quote Link to post

bird 9,970 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 i would have thought , that pups with a bitch, would pick up , some of her traits , regards temp . like when you go to see a litter etc, norm if the bitch friendly / confident , the pups seem more relaxed around people , maybe i am wrong lol, but i always thought the bitch would have bearing on the pups temp from her own , so its the bitch as much as the dog, regards personalty .!

I'm sure there's more to it. I'm going nuts trying to find that study again. They laid out the specific parts of the brain that were encoded to each of the genders contributing to the offspring. I would think that it would take a little investigation to sort out the specific contributions as far as temperament, emotional reactions, etc. In my experience with hounds, if you've got a sire that fights at the tree your going to end up with the same in the offspring. The first line of dogs that I had any extensive experience watching were bad about fighting at the tree on bear. The first few trees of the year with that pack was like, bear goes up, dogs bark treed, dogs begin fighting, some dogs die or are headed to the vet, day over. We had to be very careful with that pack for the first few trees. I would grab a big stick on the way in and keep order. If not, it was bad and they were big hounds and not easy to handle in a brawl. Since then I've been very strict about not breeding rough dogs so I don't have to deal with that in my line. I have only had one rough dog (with other dogs) in my line of hounds in 16 years with the same pack. I shot the one offender and never bred any pups out of him. In other breeds of dogs that I have, I've held to the same standard where it comes to being rough with other dogs and have not rarely had a problem. Quote Link to post

Fighting at a tree on bear?? Say what??? When the hunt is on everything is moving , when a bear climbs up a tree energy is stuck,, the dogs body cant move the stimulated feeling it has , Same as two terriers at a dig , if tied together when stimulated too much , the energy spills over into fights , Quote Link to post
pollypocket 244 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I've recently done genetic inheritance module on a degree course...your statement as is, could not be possible. Possibly you have misrepresented what had been stated.. For example some phenotypes are genetically dominant providing certain epigenetic factors are in place, leaving them susceptible to certain traits coming to the fore.. But I would be interested in reviewing this paper that stated these facts. 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,139 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I think it could be true as pups I've seen generally have to fathers temp,hypo,lazy,friendly or whatever. Quote Link to post
