文摘

We compared dingoes to ‘ancient’ and ‘modern’ breeds of dogs using the C-BARQ. A number of differences were discovered between the three groups. Dingoes were less trainable and displayed more stranger and non-social fear than dogs. Dingoes were a significant outlier from the range of typical between-breed variation. This suggests selective processes took place during domestication that affected behaviour.
