For those who proclaim that race does not exist, they should
have
courage to proclaim that Fox Terriers and Beagles behave the
same.
Serious students of anthrology should examine some of the
research
done years ago on items as focused as color preferences just
among
the
races in europe.
There are about 150 breeds of dogs recognized by the American
Kennel
Club, and about 500 different breeds when you include those not
recognized by the AKC. To find two breeds that behave the same
means
nothing.
The point is, many of these breeds behave distinctly *different*.
e.g., some are generally docile(Cockers),
some are generally vicious (Dobermans)...
And the best dog with kids that I ever had was half wolf.
One example does not support a generalization.
Would you rather turn your kids loose with a
pack of "half wolves," or a pack of cocker spaniels...??
If this is so, whatever happened to free will?
That>s why it>s called biological DETERMINISM, Tim.

From http://www.prairienet.org/cikc/dobie.html
"Basic Personality Traits: Dobermans are generally very intelligent
and can be trained easily with praise. They are usually loving with
friends and family, but require lots of regular attention and need to
learn their place in the pack or family at an early age. This breed is
not recommended as an outdoor dog." |

Translation: We>ll ignore variation within members of the same
population and instead focus on our own biased samples and generally
fudged numbers.
Insurance companies do quite well ignoring individuals and instead
going with the group statistics (non-smokers, over-25 drivers, etc).
