We test individual variability in the behaviour or temperament of dogs of hunting breeds using simple behavioural tests that are commonly used in dogs for this purpose (reactions to the firing of an umbrella, reactions to a doll, new space, etc.). We investigate not only the behavioural reactions of dogs to the experimental stimulus but also physiological reactions (e.g. heart rate). We are still adding people, so anyone with a hunting dog who would be interested in participating can contact masilkova@fld.czu.cz.
