Puppy Culture Potluck: Ep34 - Bad Genes and Good Puppies: Genetics, Behavior and Puppy Culture
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
This episode's question is about whether and by how much we can modify temperament with protocols:
"I was chatting to someone recently about nature versus nurture, and they said, you can get a bitch who has a poor temperament and using Puppy Culture, you can have pups who have great temperaments. My view is it's more complex than that.…Would love people's thoughts."
Listen in as I discuss:
- The difference between temperament and behavior
- The ramifications of using behavior modification protocols in a breeding program
- Our ethical obligations as breeders vs as puppy raisers
