    Seriously. Is it just me, or is it a little racist (breedist?) to lump dogs into individual categories based solely on breed? They’re all unique individuals with their own personalities. Any dog can be a good boy if raised properly.

      Bruh, do you understand what a breed is?

      They are specifically breeded for certain traits, it’s fair to lump them into breeds when looking at behaviour and temperament since those are traits that can obviously be bred.

      Yeah, I almost wonder for a lot of these if they were getting dogs from the same genetic line. I’ve seen some breeders make dogs with poor temperaments just becuase of the breeding stock they’ve been using.

      Like, I do agree bearded collies can have poor temperaments, but so bad that they’re that far removed from all other dogs? Strong disagree.
