Default Re: Genetics or upbringing or ??

Dog breeds were made by people for specific reasons. Each breed has a function. People nowadays don't even know why the different breeds were developed, they just go by what's cute or macho looking. I've been around a lot of different breeds and there are only a few that I wouldn't really want. A Doberman works best for me. There is a balanced amount of energy and laziness in them along with companionship for me. They also keep me on my toes. My daughter has Pugs (can't have just one) And I think they are as close to spoil proof as you can get. Her boyfriend had never been around dogs and any other breed may have been disastrous. It would be great if people would take the time to study what breed would really work for them AND allow the dog to do what it was "programed" to do. I guess I am saying that a dog's upbringing should be based on genetics.
