A breed is a group of dogs that have similar characteristics in their behavior and appearance, obtained after selective breeding over a long period of time. This selection was sought to get copies of which features were useful to humans and aesthetic appeal. There are over 400 recognized breeds, which have set a standard that defines all the morphological and behavioral characteristics, and serves as a benchmark for assessing the purity within each individual race.
That a particular dog is purebred does not guarantee that adult behavior is true to standard only gives us a chance it is, as are the experiences that have the dog for his life and education will receive the greatest weight in characterizing his behavior as an adult. As for the mestizos, being mixtures of different races the characteristics of their behavior are unknown.
The main areas in which race influences the behavior of the dog include emotional stability, relationship with children and other family members, dominance, easy to train him and his need for activity, among others. Each of these factors is present in varying degrees in each race, for example a Pastor English is a very active dog, while a German Shorthaired Pointer is the opposite.
In theory, individuals belonging to a particular race should have all the same features of behavior, but in practice there are variations. Within a single litter each puppy will have a feature that will make you different from his brothers. For example, there may be a very dominant and yet one of his brothers to be very submissive. The only way to be sure of the disposition of each puppy is with the help of an expert.
Behaviorally, there is no breed of dog that may be predisposed to develop conduct disorder or aggression as are caused by irresponsible education.
In short, race may be considered a guide to help choosing a puppy, but it depends on the behavior of their respective owners finally have an adult.
