    Having worked with lots of dogs (including obedience trials) - the #1 indicator of dog behaviour is the dog’s human.

    This is the data (charted) that they’re using to make the claim:

    Some methodology:

    C-BARQ behaviour data for all 12 sub-scales were collected in March 2023 via an online questionnaire of owners of Cockapoo, Labradoodle, Cavapoo, Cocker Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle dogs acquired aged ≤16 weeks from 1st January 2019. C-BARQ scores were analysed using multivariable linear modelling. Valid responses were received representing 9,402 dogs. From 72 behavioural comparisons overall

      Thanks. These charts do a great job of showing how meaninglessly tiny samples and nonsense results are hyped by capitalist media.

    Interesting. I got a schnoodle because neither dog bothers my allergies, and I specifically didn’t want a purebred. Maybe I’m lucky, she’s been super sweet with people, and has been very trainable. Honestly, too trainable. She’s learned every word we can think of for bath, vet, and groomer so it’s hard to discuss anything about her without having her go hide.
