It determines his appearance, temperament, intelligence, energy level, and health. It’s the result of genetic manipulation by people who've manipulated the DNA of dogs to create a better dog.#2 The dog world is full of groups, each created for a specific task. For example, herding dogs were originally bred to control livestock, while hounds were bred to hunt.#3 The best time to consider how breed impacts a dog’s behavior is before bringing that dog home. Pet owners have to learn to live with DNA-driven problems or commit the time and energy it takes to teach a more acceptable behavior.#4 The world has changed a lot since the English bulldog was bred in the 1400s and 1600s.
