But it's a problem as there are many people who would seek out a dog just like it based on looks with no regard to temperament.
When 101 Dalmatians were a hit there was a big increase in sales (and poorly bred ones).
People I know still say 'dulux' dog (old English sheepdog)
Andrew puppy (golden lab)
It sells the product and attaches itself to that image. The reality of these dogs temperaments is often not considered.
I know this doesn't apply to you op, I just think it's an interesting topic.
