75%
The criteria for choosing a companion dog. What criteria do people follow in selecting a dog in Poland? By means of a diagnostic survey a study was carried out examining the criteria for selecting a companion dog. The survey was filled out by 424 dog owners (in Poland), representing various ages and education. An analysis of the results allowed to divide the surveyed community into five clusters. The respondents from the 1st cluster preferred pedigree dogs. They regarded the most important criteria of dog selection to be parentage (0.809), size (0.652) and temperament(0.478). The 2nd cluster included people having a good contact with dogs and preferring a specific type of dog temperament. They most highly regarded the temperamentof the dog (1.000) and its appearance (0.693). The 3rd cluster included altruists, for whom none of the analyzed criteria of selection were important. For them the most important criteria of dog selection was the temperamentof the animal (0.977), less important were sex (0.593), parentage (0.558) and the utility purpose (0.453), whereas age and external appearance were completely irrelevant. The respondents in the 4th cluster (people preferring work and physical activity with the dog) differed from the others by having the highest assessment of the dog's utility purpose (0.906). Their utilitarian attitude towards dog selection confirms regarding temperamentas second in the hierarchy of criteria (0.750) and size as the third (0.547). The least traits associated with the utilitarian side of the dog were shown by respondents from the 5th cluster (average dog owners). They regarded the following criteria to be most important: size (0.688), age and appearance (0.656) and sex (0.563).
The influence of farmers creating an environment for domestic animals and its impact on their behaviour and welfare are recently a major area of research. The animal reaction to human presence depends on the previous experience and their genetic characteristics. Easily handled animals are much more desirable than nervous ones. Temperament is one of the natural traits of an animal influencing, among others, daily body weight gains up to weaning, as well as meat quality when slaughtered. Some of the results based on temperament tests are summarized in the presented paper.
The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of empathic test and feeding test to determine the type of arctic foxes females’ behaviour. The research material included females kept on a commercial farm situated in western part of the Wielkopolskie Voivodeship. The assessment of behaviour type of all the females from the foundation stock was conducted in 2002-2009 on the basis of behavioural reaction on empathic and feeding test. To determine the degree of balance and confidence of each animal taking part in both types of test, the basic test index Tl (1) and behavioural index Bl (2) were calculated. The feeding test appeared to be a more adequate tool for determination of behaviour type of arctic foxes when compared to empathic test, however it classified animals only to two groups (trustful and fearful).
