Abstract

Abstract:

The matching of working dogs with corresponding working uses is closely related to their behavioral traits， which are affected by both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors play decisive roles in dog behavioral traits， which are the key contents of dog breeding. It has been found that the polymorphic sites of some canine genes such as COMT， TH， 5-HTR2C， DRD2， GLT-1 and GLAST are significantly associated with specific temperament and behavioral traits in dogs. However， there are still specific function of the discovered genes and the mechanism of its effect on canine behavioral traits need to be further studied. The aticle summarized the existing studies on dog genes and main working traits of dogs， and integrated the research arguments of dispersion， in order to provide reference for the theoretical and further mechanism research of follow-up practitioners.

Key words: working dog, genes, polymorphisms, heredity, behavior trait

摘要：

工作犬和相应工作用途的匹配性与其行为性状密切相关，犬的行为性状受到遗传与环境因素的双重影响，且遗传因素对犬的行为性状起到决定性作用，是犬种繁育的重点内容。已有研究发现一些犬基因的多态位点，如MAOB、COMT、TH、5-HTR2C、DRD2、GLT-1和GLAST等与犬的特定性情及行为性状显著相关，但仍有已被发现基因的具体功能及对犬行为性状的具体影响机制有待进一步研究。综述对已有犬基因与犬主要工作性状方面的研究进行了总结，并整合了分散性的研究论点，以期为后续从业人员的理论研究及进一步机制研究提供参考。
