“…In turn, cluster 2 comprised the following traits: stubborn, lazy, greedy, loner, timid, fearful, unpredictable, distrustful, insecure, aggressive, absent-minded, and alert. Traits from cluster 1 were assigned to individuals with an extroverted temperament, while the traits from cluster 2 are typical of introverted animals (17).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between motor lateralisation, temperament, and serum levels of cortisol. The study group consisted of 39 clinically healthy dogs: 21 females and 18 males. Lateralisation and temperament were assessed during periodic animal health checks using a standardised tape test and a proprietary assessment algorithm. The median cortisol level in the dogs was 4.6 ng/ml. The median cortisol level was 4.31 ng/ml in dogs under 3 years of age and 4.92 ng/ml in dogs over 3 years of age. The median cortisol level was 4.21 ng/ml in left-pawed dogs and 4.8 ng/ml in right-pawed dogs. Statistically significant differences were found between cortisol levels and temperament. The median cortisol level was 5.06 ng/ml in extrovert dogs and 4 ng/ml in introvert dogs.

“…The focus of this article is on hypertypes selected for physical appearance, but behavioral hypertypes also exist with potentially negative effects for well-being [52]. Behavioral characteristics are heritable [53], described in breed standards, and they can be evaluated by research tools such as the Canine Behavior and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) [54] and simple owner-targeted questionnaires [55]. Selection within a breed can be biased towards either show or working dogs.…”

Fashions in the appearance of purebred dogs and cats are encouraged by celebrity culture, social media, and online impulse buying. The popularity of characteristics perceived as cute, quirky, and anthropomorphic has driven increasingly exaggerated breed features appealing to aesthetics rather than health. ‘Hypertypes’ of some breeds have emerged that take a breed’s distinctive appearance to extremes beyond the intended interpretation of breed standards. This has severe, direct and indirect health and welfare consequences. Extreme conformations are associated with chronic health conditions including brachycephalic obstructive airway disorder, ocular, dental, skin, and musculoskeletal disorders. Puppy and kitten farms and illegal traders that meet the demand for hypertypes are associated with poor husbandry that neglects the physical, behavioral, and mental health of parents and offspring. A multidimensional approach involving collaboration between breeders, geneticists, owners, veterinarians, kennel clubs, cat fanciers’ associations, animal charities, the academic and research communities, commercial enterprises, and governments is needed to safeguard breeds and tackle these challenges. There are many ongoing initiatives by national kennel clubs and global partnerships to educate pet owners and support responsible pet ownership and sustainable breeding. The resounding message is that health, temperament, and well-being must be prioritized over appearance.

“…There is a wide range of methods for determining the temperament, higher nervous activity or working qualities of dogs, which vary considerably and are used for different purposes. In particular, based on behavioural observations, it is possible to reliably assess the temperament of dogs (introvert or extrovert) (Karpiński et al, 2022). Quantifying behaviour and temperament with sensor-based dog toys can provide a way to predict which dogs will be suitable for guide dog work (Byrne et al, 2022).…”

The relevance of the study is due to the current lack of data on cortical mechanisms of protein metabolism regulation in dogs, which is important to consider when developing methods of corrective action on metabolism. The aim of the study was to determine the peculiarities of protein metabolism in dogs with different types of higher nervous activity, and to establish the relationship between the main characteristics of nervous processes and indicators of protein metabolism in the blood. The leading method in the study of this issue was a new method for determining the typological features of the nervous system in dogs, and the obtained scores of strength, balance, and mobility of nervous processes helped to identify the degree of their influence on protein metabolism. A significant effect of short-term nutritional deprivation on the content of certain indicators of protein metabolism in the blood of dogs, depending on their temperament, was established. Under the action of the stimulus during the day, a decrease in the level of albumin and changes in the ratio of globulins were observed in the blood of dogs, in particular, an increase in the relative content of α- and β-globulins and a decrease in γ-globulins. It was determined that the type of higher nervous activity has a significant effect on the content of total protein, albumin, globulins, β-globulins, γ-globulins and the value of the albumin-globulin ratio (F=3.02-14.6>FU=2.90; P<0.05-0.001) in the blood plasma of dogs. A direct relationship between the strength of nervous processes and the content of total protein and albumin, γ-globulins (r=0.62-0.73; P<0.01) and an inverse relationship between the content of αand β-globulins (r=-0.51-0.56; P<0.01) was found three days after the onset of short-term nutritional deprivation. The balance of nervous processes was inversely related to the content of β-globulins (r=-0.44; P<0.05). The fundamental knowledge gained is of practical value for the development of new, modern methods of metabolic correction taking into account the temperament of animals
