Dog owners all believe their dog's personality is distinct and unique.
Even if they own two dogs of the same breed, perhaps even from the same litter, they'll say each dog has a personality all his own.
And they'll be right. And yet many of those same people believe that dog personalities are determined by breed.
They'll say things like "Golden Retrievers don't bite," or "Pit Bulls are vicious." And they'll be wrong.
A dog's personality, like that of a child, is determined more by "nurture" than "nature."
Depending on how he's raised, a Golden Retriever will bite and be vicious; a Pit Bull will be a gentle coward.
It is true that dogs of a certain breed may share some behavioral characteristics (e.g., most Labrador Retrievers enjoy swimming and are crazy about fetching a ball).
There are exceptions to every rule, but knowing behavioral (as well as physical) characteristics will help you to decide on a dog that will likely be a good fit for you and your lifestyle.
You'll cover that later in this book.
