A population of 5575 assistance dogs were scored for both hip hypermobility and 13 behaviour characteristics using previously validated methods. Our results suggest a positive association between hip joint hypermobility and emotional arousal in domestic dogs, which parallel results found in people.}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-019-45096-0}, issue = {8629}, journal = {Scientific Reports (Nature)}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://rvc-repository.worktribe.com/output/1381717}, volume = {9}, keyword = {ePrints migration}, year = {2019}, author = {Bowen, J and Fatjó, J and Serpell, J A and Bulbena-Cabré, A and Leighton, E and Bulbena, A} }
