Handegård, Karin W. | Madsen, Per | Storengen, Linn Mari | Lingaas, Frode
The aim of this study was to increase knowledge on the genetic background of noise reactivity in dogs, with a study on heritability based on owner-collected data on standard poodles’ degree of fear of sudden loud noises and fireworks. Previous studies have shown significant breed differences, and we expected to find significant heritability for noise reactivity. 1148 standard poodles are included in the study. The estimated heritabilities are between 0.09 and 0.16. Reaction to sudden loud noises and fireworks are genetically highly correlated (rg > 0.95).
