  • This is honestly a badly written article. I have a problem with the final statement of the abstract this article links:

    Thus, dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behavior and should not be used to inform decisions relating to selection of a pet dog.

    If you have a working dog breed, you need to maintain certain a level of activity or mental stimulation in order to keep that dog healthy and not bored. Many huskies are put in shelters because people cannot meet their energy demands. It’s disingenuous to disregard the breed’s physicality and how that affects their individual behaviors.

    This article also states biddability was the trait linked most to breed which is an important factor in choosing a domesticated animal.
