What Role Does Dog Breed Play?
A fascinating conversation on HERE on Steve Dale’s Pet World on WGN Radio with veterinary behaviorist Dr. Leanne Lilly of the Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center. She explains what a veterinary behaviorist is.and discusses the books Decoding Your Dog and Decoding Your Cat.
Dr. Lilly notes there are more variables among individuals than between breeds. Dr. Lilly explains how characteristics in dogs occur. While breed may certainly make a difference, other impacts include socialization and the individual genetics of the dog, also even before-birth diet and the amount of stress the mom is under before she gives birth.
Still, it’s important to choose the right dog likely to work for you. But Dr. Lilly answers if there is truly a breed for no one.
