New Research Suggests A Dog's Behavior Often Isn't Linked To Their Breed

New research suggests that the breed of a dog doesn't always indicate their behavior, or what personality traits they are likely to have

I read the article that this article is based on. My Impression is that often is overstating it. I would use the phrase not entirely.

nurture vs nature.
I also like the concept of predisposition.

I had to do something similar last week with a momma duck and her ducklings which had taken a wrong turn.
Herding birds is hard.

They seem to be glued to mama and I'm gobsmacked to see how fast they have to walk. Have you seen all of those videos recently on FB. They're a hoot.

I am in love.
I gave him/her a grape just to get a good video. I will not be feeding him/her. I think it might be a mama.

This reminded me of a commercial where a woman goes out to her backyard before bed to let her cat in and lets a raccoon in. She can't see the raccoon cause she has already taken her contacts out. I think the commercial might have been for contacts.


Oh. I found it

Yes, lol…very cute commercial. Could well be me as I need glasses for distance but rarely wear them when I’m home unless I’m watching tv. And then my cats are indoor only. But it’s a cute commercial.

That video was cute, but I was wondering why they chose to walk on the pavement/road instead of on the grass away from the traffic.

Well, I'm not sure if I'm qualified as a bear psychologist, but my best guess is that the momma bear, just like the chicken in the joke, wants to get to the other side. the cubs are just, like little human kids, being totally shitty about it.

Did you read the comments.? there are some real gems in there.
