Evan MacLean and colleagues evaluated behavioral and genetic data from over 14,000 dogs, representing more than 100 breeds, and found that genetic variations track to differing extents with behavioral variations between the breeds. This was the case for the behavioral categories of dog rivalry and energy but was especially pronounced for chasing, which can be seen when a dog pursues small animals like birds or squirrels. In another study, researchers found that the bulldog and the Yorkshire terrier breeds exhibit very different levels of chasing. When considered in light of the study by MacLean and colleagues, this finding suggests that __________
