Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #49319 Dog's Breed
Instructions
Your  dogs  behavior  probably  isnt  due  to  its  breed,    to  a  large-scale  genetic  analysis.  The  findings  suggest  that  stereotypes    with  certain  breeds  have  little  basis.  Kathleen  Morrill  at  the  University  of  Massachusetts  and  her  colleagues  studied  the  DNA  of  more  than  2000  dogs  using  a  genome-wide  analysis.  The  team  wanted  to  determine  if  any  common  genetic    could  be  linked  to  behaviors  typically  associated  with  particular  dog  types.  In  other  words,  could  genetics  explain  why  Rottweilers  often  seem  so  aggressive  or  why  Border  collies  are  thought  of  as  sociable?  The  researchers  combined  this  analysis  with  survey  responses  from  the  owners  of  more  than  18,000  dogs,  mostly  from  the  US,  who  had  been  asked  to    the  behaviour  of  their  pets.  After  collecting  all  this  information,  the  team  focused  their  analysis  on  the  differences  between  pure-bred  and  cross-bred  dogs.
