does the level of expression of emotions in dogs differ according to their breed?

Question

or does it depend on its upbringing? like, for ex, children brought up by calm and cool parents are generally calm and cool and those brought up by angry parents are generally angry. is it so in dogs?

Answer 1

breed specific dogs seem to have more personality based on their owner and intelligence level. enviromental conditions have a large part in their personality just as in humans. do unto others. i've seen pit bulls as gentle as a kitten an poodles meaner than a stripped snake. attitude plays a big part but it's the owners responsibility to raise a good dog.

Answer 2

I would think alot is their upbringing and if the family are calm and cool and pay alot of attention to their pet...And a family who are angry and yelling all the time can go 2 ways...The dog can turn out mean and the dog can be scared to death of people,Because of this...

Some of it comes from nature and the breed or mutt. A lot comes from the human contact. Calm people, calmer dog. angry mean people nasty dog. My neighbors dog walks by me every morning and growls at me! His owner walks by and grunts at me. There cat sits on the fence and hisses at me if I even look at him. The lady across the street is friendly and is a cookie kinda of lady. When her dog gets out he runs over to me wagging his tail and full of wiggles. Both mutts completely different people and up bringing.

Refer to those people that abuse dogs by not feeding them and forcing them to fight, they become ferocious. Then again, people who'm love and treat their pets as if they were Gods only gift, love you back in return. Treat a pet nice and it'll share the favor.
