[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 672960, member: 25436"] For every person that says their Chow is a gentle, people-loving dog, there is someone else that says their cocker spaniel is a crazed wilder-beast. These anecdotal experiences don't mean squat if your goal is objective analysis. The key message I'm espousing here is [b]tendencies[/b]. Why is it that people are sometimes afraid to make broad generalizations and conclusions based on research findings? I'm not talking about stereotyping either. But I believe that mental, emotional, and behavioral tendencies [b]can[/b] be attributed to a given breed, race, gender, socio-economic status, geographical local, etc. Why is it that in the CDC study German Shepards and Chows have a disproportionately higher rate of attack compared to other breeds? Why are male, un-neutered dogs much more likely to attack? If the training/upbringing/socialization factors are given as determining factors (important factors nonetheless) for a well-behaved dog, then why does neutering reduce the risk of attack? Now you could interpret the results with the conclusion that male German Shepards and male Chows tend to be raised/trained by people specifically to be more aggressive (and then write a book). Or maybe male children under the age of 15 are naturally attracted to approach and antagonize strange German Shepards and Chows when compared to approaching and antagonizing other breeds. :think: [/QUOTE]
