The most fascinating part of this to me is that roughly 88% of mixed breed dogs passed the test. So if you're just looking for a great dog, a mixed breed might actually have a better chance than a purebred!
Unless you're getting a lab. I've never met a lab that wasn't the bestest doggo ever lol
Without knowing what types of mixes were in the sample I wouldn't draw too many conclusions. Poodle and lab mixes are some of the most popular mixed-breed dogs.
Less chance of genetic defects from inbreeding as well.
I love these mutts, so adorable and unique.
yeah this is the one i was most interested in, nobody else brought this up. Im genuinely curious why this is but i've no clue
They’re not inbred
You know that checks out, I always have to get purebreds because of allergies, and the ""Better"" the breeding was, the more high-strung they would be.
They're all good dogs, Brent.
That one downvote is from Bront.
heh! Brint withdrew their downvote.
I'd like to know what their tests are, because there's no fucking way a pit bull passes nearly all other breeds.
Well that's why it's not number 1. Couldn't pass the don't attack and mutilate people test.
Should have taken these dogs to the vet, I feel like this chart would look a lot different temperament wise. Working in the field, I'm very confused how some of these breeds scored so well and others so poorly.
Yeah, as someone who's been around dogs for decades, this chart doesn't make sense. I'd like to know the methodology used, and with how many dogs of each breed.
Very interesting! I dug even further and found the description of the test: https://atts.org/tt-test-description/
