Distance metric in dendrogram

Hi,
In the dendrogram function link to scipy the default metric function to calculate distance between pairs of points is Euclidean
. Since we are dealing with nullity binary values, won't it be more convenient to use a similarity metric such as Hamming
distance (i.e. proportion of disagrees), Jaccard index
, etc?
Thanks!
