As part of an assessment of stress during the training of guide dogs for the blind, blood pressures have been monitored in their main breeds. For this article a population of 227 Labradors, between 9 and 24 months of age, had indirect arterial blood pressures measured and means taken of five readings. They were ranked according to their pressures. Prior to the measurements, their character was independently assessed as "stress-prone" or "non-stress-prone" by their highly experienced and trained handlers. The pressure data distribution of stress-prone animals in the ranking was analysed; they were significantly more likely to be found at the high end of the blood pressure range for that population.
作为对导盲犬训练期间压力评估的一部分，已对主要犬种的血压进行了监测。在本文中，对227只年龄在9至24个月之间的拉布拉多犬进行了间接动脉血压测量，并取了五次读数的平均值。它们根据血压进行排名。在测量之前，经验丰富且经过训练的训导员独立将它们的性格评估为“易应激”或“不易应激”。分析了排名中易应激动物的血压数据分布；在该犬种群体中，它们在血压范围高端被发现的可能性显著更高。
