Once again - it is the owner, not the dog. Always.

It must be a blue moon or a cold day in hell because I am disagreeing with OBB.

May I ask, does that “Always” mean that you think there is no Nature to it and that it’s all about Nurture?

To extend my question — are our individual personalities as humans dependent completely on Nurture or are some things just our Nature? (I recognize that as humans our personality traits can be modified by Nurture — or the lack of Nurture — but, even so, I see our individual human Nature as being in us from the beginning.)
