PossumGirl Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Here's a great article from the San Francisco Gate about a study being done to pinpoint the genetic links to canine mental illness. Apparently, it's easier to study this in dogs than in humans! Fascinating reading if the subject of pet behavior interests you.PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 That is an amazing story. It's nice to know that I might not be crazy, it's just my genes............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulcrum Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 PGThat really is a very interesting article. There was a well known English dog trainer (Barbara Woodhouse) years ago who said that Border Collies are psychopaths. I was ready to believe her because I had had problems with a border collie years ago in Australia when I used to work on farms herding sheep and cattle. However this throws a different light on their character makeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumGirl Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have a border collie mix and have been on a list of border collie owners for about 10 years, and would have to say that they certainly have their issues! Whatever Maggie is mixed with seems to control some of the "crazy," but she still does things that I will never understand!PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
