CONTRAST OF THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PURE AND 

 HYBRID DOGS UNDER KENNEL CONDITIONS 



It was evident from our studies that under experimental 

 conditions at least the pure bassethound differed in behavioral 

 reactions from the pure German shepherd and Saluki, and 

 that there were many variations in behavior among the hy- 

 brids obtained by crossing these types, most of the hybrids 

 falling into the intermediate classes. Since this was so, it 

 seemed of interest to determine whether differences would 

 also be observed among the dogs in kennel surroundings, 

 where there was less control over the behavior.
