February 20, 2020 - /PressAdvantage/ - Laguna Niguel, CA - Woofpost.com publishes reasons why Preference For Dogs Over Cats Likely Due To Your Genes.

Most people are clearly on one side of the “dog person” vs. “cat person” side of the fence, likely chalking this up to personal preference or maybe the influence of having grown up around one animal or the other.

But some intriguing research from Sweden published in May of 2019 showed a surprisingly large effect of genetic influences on a person’s preference for dog ownership. This research was a collaborative effort between Swedish and British researchers who used 35,035 pairs of twins from the Swedish Twin Registry.

The reason scientists like to use twin pairs in research such as this, is that identical twins share 100 percent of their genome whereas non-identical twins share about 50 percent of genetic variation. So looking at dog ownership within the two groups can help researchers determine if genetics play a role in dog ownership or not.
