Because dog breeds are not comparable to genetic differences in humans. They’ve been actively bred for certain characteristics, going through a lot of generations extremely fast in controlled environments in a way that’s impossible in nature. All humans are essentially mongrels. The reason we don’t do racial classification of personality traits in humans isn’t just because it’s morally abhorrent, but also because it doesn’t work, while because of the selective breeding of dogs, there can be big differences in their behaviour due to their breed.
It’s also important that while a dog’s breed does have an influence on it’s behaviour, it’s not absolute, and you can’t actually predict a dog’s behaviour through its breed alone.
Isn’t the idea that alphas are packleaders for betas? If there’s an equal amount of alphas and betas are they all just leading a single sidekick?
That’s sounds pretty promising. How does it actually function? I’m asuming it can’t be hormonal considering how hard it is to block sperm production that way, which could maybe mean less (or at least different) side effects than hormonal birth-control.
