Central to their book is the role heredity plays in the development of behavior. Giving puppies an environment designed on the principles of a well-run school, Scott and Fuller tested five breeds representing the major dog groups and carried out a Mendelian experiment with two of the most different breeds: the basenji and the cocker spaniel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They found that heredity affects almost every trait tested; that sex affects aggressiveness and the dominance order, but not trainability and problem-solving; that emotional traits profoundly influence performance; that, although breeds differ widely in emotional and motivational characteristics, none shows distinct superiority in problem solving; and that detailed statistical analyses indicate a highly complex pathway between primary gene action and its final effect on behavior. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Included is important information on: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - rearing methods \u003cbr\u003e - the origin and history of dog breeds \u003cbr\u003e - basic behavior patterns \u003cbr\u003e - the physiological and behavioral development of puppies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Paul Scott,John L.
