Among the representatives of dog breeds, there are no unequivocally good or one hundred percent evil. Dog handlers recommend for families with children to choose not adult dogs, but puppies, which you yourself will bring up kind and loyal.
What determines the character of the dog
The character of a pet depends primarily on upbringing, on the atmosphere in the owner's family. It is also important that dogs, just like people, are phlegmatic or choleric.
