nah, it depends on their up bringing and if loud noises scared them as pups..... all breeds are the same. some dogs are just more confident, it's the dog not the breed

It's NOT breed specific. It's an individual trait, so noone is going to be able to give you a breed you can buy that will tolerate fireworks.
Hunting dogs have to be trained to deal with gunfire, and ANY dog can be desensitized against fireworks and lightning & thunder. There are ways to do it.
Little scared dogs are more likely to have trouble with fireworks because they tend to worry because of their small size.

I would guess that it's possible some breeds are more susceptible than others, but I really think it's just the dog's personality.
I have two dogs of the same breed (Cairn Terriers) and one is deathly afraid of the sound of fireworks, and the other acts like he doesn't even hear them.

No partiular breed,
But sound sentivity has been shown to be stongly effected by the type of care/exposure to sounds puppies recieves when with the breeder and also and also the type of training you give your pup under your care.. Sound sensitivity is one of the more inherited traits in particular bloodlines not specific breeds,, but individual families,, or pedigrees.. a sound sensitive mom often produces pups that are the same.

My dog runs for the door if she hears fireworks. She isn't afraid of thunderstorms, but just one bang from a firework it's head down and time to go in.

Fireworks do not bother my dog, a yellow lab, nor 1 of my cats, but the other cat is frightened of fireworks and thunder. He will hide and he wasnt scared of anything when he was a kitten.

It is not breed or size specific, it is dog and nerve specific. Some dogs, well, most of them, have weak nerves and cannot handle most anything out of the ordinary. Anything loud or strange or whatever scares them. Some people make it worse by praising their dog when it is acting scared and do not realize that they are doing more harm then good.

Border Collies and Australian Sheperds are two that are very sensitive to the noise. Most working/herding dogs are sensitive
