Body Size and Behaviour Traits of Dogs in Czech Households

The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of body size of dogs on their coexistence with humans in Czech households. For this purpose we used questionnaire data on 246 dogs indicating the breed. The dogs were divided into five body size groups, i.e. toy (T, up to 5 kg body mass, n = 32), small (S, 5 - 10 kg body mass, n = 52), medium size (M, 10 - 17 kg body mass, n = 39), large (L, 17 - 33 kg body mass, n = 70), giant (G, over 33 kg body mass, n = 53). The largest dogs surpassed the body mass of the smallest dogs at least seven times, and giant dogs weighed at least one half and toy dogs less than one tenth of the average body mass of people in the Czech human population. Despite this the majority of the studied traits regardless of body mass of the dogs showed no significant differences. In the vast majority of Czech households all dogs were considered household members, taken on travels or vacations, photographed and their birthdays were celebrated. Aggressiveness of the dogs did not correlate with their body size. Among the 84 traits of the behaviour of dogs and their owners, which were analysed, only 23, i.e. 27.4% traits were significantly related to their body mass. Larger and heavier dogs were more frequently kept in houses with yards and gardens, in rural environments. Toy and small dogs prevailed in urbanised environments, in apartments. They were allowed to use furniture, sleep in beds of household members. Moreover, toy dogs predominated in one-person households. Large dogs were more often trained, sometimes by professional trainers, obeyed commands better and were more often described as obedient. They were considered not only as companions but also as working dogs. Giant size dogs were also more often trained to be protective. These data show that the differences in the body size of dogs modified their co-existence with humans only to a limited extent

Effect of Deutectomy, Fasting and Environmental Temperature on Free Fatty Acid Concentration in the Blood Plasma of Chickens in the First Week after Hatching

Effects of food intake, fasting, environmental temperature and deutectomy on plasma free fatty acids (FFA) were investigated in 210 sexed Shaver Starcross cockerels in the first week after hatching. At the end of hatching the FFA concentration in plasma of chickens was 1.0 ± 0.2 mmoh l-". During the 2-hour long transport it increased. On the other hand, upon I-hour long exposure to 18°C a decrease was noted in plasma FFA concentration in chicks exposed to cold both before and after transport as against the values found at 35°C. The intact fed birds aged 2,3 and 4 days showed no changes, whereas a substantial increase in plasma FFA to values exceeding those of the first day were found in birds aged 5 days. Chickens deprived of food and held at 35°C and those exposed to 18 "C showed higher plasma FFA concentrations than fed birds. It is suggested that fasting results in mobilization of lipid stores shortly after hatching whereas upon exposure to cold thermoregulation mechanisms operative in adults seem not to operate till the end of the first week after hatching

Incidence and impact of dog attacks on guide dogs in the UK: an update

Data on dog attacks on Guide Dogs’ stock were reviewed to investigate the characteristics of the attacks. An average of 11.2 attacks occurred each month. Nearly all of the attacks occurred in public areas, 68.4 per cent of victim dogs were qualified guide dogs and 55.5 per cent of victim dogs were working in harness when they were attacked. Guide Dogs’ stock were injured in 43.2 per cent of attacks and veterinary costs for attacks were estimated at £34,514.30. Over 40 per cent of qualified guide dogs’ working ability was affected and >20 per cent of qualified guide dogs required some time off from working after a dog attack. Twenty dogs were permanently withdrawn from the Guide Dogs’ programme as a result of dog attacks, 13 of which were qualified and working with guide dog owners at the time of the withdrawal; this resulted in a financial cost of >£600,000 to the charity. More importantly perhaps, temporary and permanent withdrawals have a significant impact upon the mobility and independence of guide dog owners and in many cases significantly impacted their emotional well-being
