I have to agree with this. Because I have a GSP who are VERY hyper, and I have one that is calm, so its not always the breed. It can be that one dog, as each dog is different like Kay said. Its all in the training and how they are raise, I think.Originally posted by Kfamr
Yes, but every dog is different.
There could be incredibly lazy, non-versatile Catahoulas out there, who loves to play ball and play with sticks though.
There could be quiet and lazy Huskies.
There could be Labs who HATE to swim.
There could be a Greyhound that doesn't necessarily like to run.
(Just using these breeds as an example)And some has to do with their breeding.
But I taught Heidi that being hyper wasn't exceptable. Yeah, she can be happy and stuff, but jumping up on people, mauling them when they walk in the door is a NO-NO!!
There are some dogs that I couldn't see owning in the future, but you never know. I basically can't see myself owning them cause they just don't seem to fit my lifestyle, BUT that doesn't mean that I wouldn't open my heart to a dog of that breed if needed. Plus I might be wrong and that breed would fit my lifestyle.
ParNone did put it nicely though, and so did Twisterdog. Each breed has characteristics. Those are what define them as that breed. Those are the breed "standard", "personality" of the MAJORITY of the breed. You have to go by what the breeds profile is.
