So we're looking for a dog at the moment and I'm doing a lot of breed research, but I was wondering how much of all this is nature and how much is nurture. ...or guesswork.
For example some of the dogs im looking at are not super tolerant of children or may nip. - but surely this is training as well as having respectful kids?
Or another breed cannot stand any time alone etc. But surely this is about training and trying to avoid seperation anxiety?
Or another can't ever be off lead. Again is this recall training? If I get any kindof hound or terrier or almost anything it seems it can't go off lead ever?
Are these things to be aware of - a dog may be more prone to these issues. Or is it fairly certain?
Would be interested to hear people's experiences.
