In my experiences in sitting and taking the many to dog parks they seem to.

I think my dog recognizes dogs of his same breed (or related breeds).

Always wondered when my basset saw another basset whether he recognized a kindred spirit.

For some reason my dog doesn't like the Schwartz's dog. Do you think it's a breed thing?

My yellow lab is the same way. Just usually goes barking and the tPOS guys though.

I have a dachshund that is the same way. Goes ape shite crazy when he sees the black kids walking to the school bus. No reaction when the white kids walk down the street.

I think they do tend to like dogs of similar size to them, but I don't know if they notice or care about breed.

But with respect to people, my dog is a damn nazi. I had him in the car when I went to vote real quick one time. When I came back out, he was acting like Cujo trying to get out the car window at the black folk. I thought Eric Holder and the DOJ would be knocking on my door any day after that.

He just wags his tail and smiles at white people.

He didn't learn that shite from me, either. He's a rescue.

Butters always runs up to other pugs at the dog park and tries to play with them.


Not sure if it's because he recognizes his own kind or he just sees another dog his size there.

None of my family's dogs ever seemed to notice.

The big thing they notice is size. We've had mostly medium sized dogs and they'd be afraid of little yappy dogs but would try to fight big dogs.

Are you sure it's not just reacting to how they act towards him? The owner of my company brings his dog to work. You might think he hats black people by the way he reacts to some. But mostly he just reacts to people that act afraid. Any black person that walks in and pays the dog no mind, he practically ignores. But when someone opens the door then freaks about the dog and slams the door he flips out. It's hilarious to watch.

I'm talking about the dog, not the owner. Just in case that wasn't clear.

If you live in Chocolate city that would be ironic.
