POLYMORPHISM IN THE TYROSINE HYDROXYLASE (TH) GENE IS ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVITY-IMPULSIVITY IN GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS.

Polymorphism in the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene is associated with activity-impulsivity in German Shepherd Dogs.

We investigated the association between repeat polymorphism in intron 4 of the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene and two personality traits, activity-impulsivity and inattention, in German Shepherd Dogs.The behaviour of 104 dogs was characterized by two instruments: (1) the previously validated Dog-Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale
