  1. School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences The University of Adelaide – PhD Project Maternal care and stress • Stress and anxiety are welfare issues in dogs • Maternal care influences stress in later life • We are interested in studying the link between maternal care and stress responses in puppies We are looking for pregnant dams which may be coming into season and breeding before June 2015 within South Australia What’s involved? • Continuous filming of dam and the puppies for the first 2 weeks of pups life (there is no sound on the film and the camera is focussed on the whelping box only) • Non-invasive tests with the puppies at 7 weeks of age including saliva swabs and an isolation test • Canine Behavioral Assessment & Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) for the breeder to complete for the dam THANK YOU :)
  2. Why do you breed from the dogs you do? Researchers from The University of Adelaide are seeking Australian dog breeders to participate in a short 10-minute online survey about their reasons behind choosing a dog and bitch to breed from. This information will be used to gain understanding of the factors dog breeders incorporate in their breeding plan when pairing and breeding from certain animals. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please click here.
