Genetics and behaviour

Post by Choochi »

Just wanted to share as I find this super interesting. This is my boy Athos, he hasn't had much actual bite training so he hasn't had a chance to learn any sort of a pattern really. This is how he responds to things he wants to bite and after watching for a while I realized a pattern (he does this with other "chasable" objects as well until he's able to lock on and hold).

I wonder if KNPV genetics have any thing to do with this. Charging in a straight line for a single bite. Hmmm ;)

Uhm. IMHO, that is just the way you catch things. If a bird dog catches his bird that way, we cannot blame that on KNPV. :lol: so I'd say it is just logical tactics.
