Dog breed affects behaviour, and we need to acknowledge that in the American Bully XL debate 📧 Read StuartJRitchie's latest newsletter
. Experts collected data on 18,000 dogs and, well, it says it in black and white in an editorial statement on the paper: “dog breed is generally a poor predictor of individual behaviour”.
There are, of course, problems with this kind of research. The main one is that the dog behaviours are reported by their owners: it’s a bit like the well-known problem of self-reporting in personality testing. If you’re filling in a personality test for a job, you’re hardly going to report that you’re actually quite lazy and closed-minded.
So looking to these kinds of studies to tell us anything about American Bully XL dogs in particular is probably going to be misleading: not only are the self-reported behaviours biased in general, but they simply don’t apply to this specific breed anyway.
