Behaviour profile of the Netherlandse Kooikerhondje
Do you own a Kooikerhondje? Are you interested in unraveling more about your breed’s behaviour? Have you had your dog genotyped with a commercial genotyping platform such as Embark or Wisdom? If you answered yes to these questions, we are excited to invite you to participate in a research project aimed at creating a genetics and behaviour profile for the Kooierhondje breed.
This research project focuses on analyzing the behaviour of the Kooikerhondje and correlating it with their genetic background. Our goal is to identify potential genetic and behavioural patterns in the Kooikerhondje.
Your participation in this project is invaluable! We kindly request your assistance in completing a comprehensive questionnaire about your Kooikerhondje. This questionnaire is designed to gather detailed information about various aspects of your dog’s behaviour, including temperament, socialization, training experiences, and any specific behavioural traits unique to him or to the breed. Your firsthand observations and experiences will provide critical data for our research analysis. All information provided in the questionnaire will be kept strictly confidential and only used for research purposes. All published data will be anonymized.
