Choosing a dog is not just about looks: Dog Behavior is inherent in the Dog Breed

In fact, centuries of breeding dictate dog behavior. Do you want a dog that herds your cats into the corner, or would you prefer one who fetches them gently to you when required?

So you reckon you know which dog breed you want but don't know which dog behavior to expect? Or you already have a dog and you want to get into his mind and understand him better? See this - many dog behavior problems come from the fact that a dog is a victim of his genetic make-up. If his mum and his dad were, say, Golden Retrievers, then he is a Golden Retriever, and no amount of training is going to turn him into a terrier or a sheepdog.
