Abstract

This study aimed to investigate behavioral developments and breed specific characteristics of Kangal puppies. To this aim, Kangal puppies (23 male, 17 female) were weekly exposed to the repeated open field test (OFT) and barrier test between 3 to 8 weeks after birth. It was detected that 3 weeks old Kangal puppies were able to display explorative behaviors. True thigmotactic behaviors and unsteady walking were only observed when the puppies were 3-weeks-old. When the puppies were 4 weeks old, time spent for standing and walking increased (p? 0.05) and running behavior was first displayed. Sum of durations of passive behaviors increased in general (p? 0.05) and durations of escape behaviors decreased in the 2nd part of the OFT (p? 0.05) in 5-weeks-old puppies. Five weeks old Kangal puppies also started to show success in the barrier test. Common body postures of the puppies were recorded as self confident and attendant along test weeks. These findings suggest that Kangal puppies achieved fine motor abilities such as steady walking and running at 4 weeks of age. Five weeks of age, on the other hand, seemed to be important for development of emotional memory, habituation and problem solving in Kangal puppies. Considering activity levels and body postures of the puppies in repeated OFT exposures, Kangal puppies might be classified as bold puppies according to "Shyness-Boldness" axis.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Kangal yavrularının davranış gelişimleri ve ırka özgü kişilik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Mevcut çalışmada, Kangal yavrularına (23 erkek, 17 dişi), 3-8 haftalık dönemde haftalık olarak tekrarlı açık alan ve bariyer testleri uygulandı. Üç haftalık Kangal yavrularının keşif davranışlarını sergileme yetisine sahip oldukları tespit edildi. Gerçek tigmotaktik davranışlar ve sallantılı yürüme sadece yavrular 3 haftalıkken gözlemlendi. Kangal yavruları 4 haftalıkken, ayakta durma ve yürüme için harcanan süre arttı (p? 0,05) ve koşma davranışı ilk kez sergilendi. Beş haftalık yavrularda pasif davranışlar için harcanan süre testin genelinde arttı (p? 0.05) ve kaçma davranışları için harcanan süre OFT'nin 2. bölümünde azaldı (p? 0.05). Ayrıca 5 haftalık Kangal yavruları, bariyer testinde başarı göstermeye başladı. Test haftaları boyunca yavruların genel olarak sergiledikleri vücut dili, kendine güvenli ve dikkatli olarak kaydedildi. Bu bulgular, Kangal yavrularının dört haftalık yaşta sallantısız yürüme ve koşma gibi ince motor becerilerini kazandığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca 5 haftalık yaşın Kangal yavrularında duygusal hafıza, alışma ve problem çözme açısından önemli olduğu görülmektedir. Tekrarlı OFT uygulamalarında yavruların aktivite seviyeleri ve vücut dilleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, Kangal yavruları "Utangaçlık-cesaret" eksenine göre cesur yavrular olarak sınıflandırılabilmektedir.
