The biggest comment we hear, across the board, from pet owners is that they don't understand why their dog is behaving the way they are.
Their cattle dog is biting heels.
Their German shepherd is barking at people.
Their hound is baying non stop.
Their malinois is biting.
Their border collie is destroying their house.
Their terrier is trying to kill the cat.
Their pit bull is trying to attack their other dog.
All of those things can be traced back to the original use of the breed, and when we tell people that they are usually surprised!
This isn't to say that people who want a pet can never get a working bred dog, but rather tuat there are pets out there that don't require the same level of management to be successful pets as those working breeds do.
Always do research on what the dog was bred for, not what temperament is described now a days. Speak to reputable breeders about the worst traits of their breed, and plan for that vs the exception.
