Would you breed a dog with fear of thunder?

Does a fear of thunderstorms = weak nerves in a dog?

**jocoyn** · 03-21-2011, 07:08 AM

I would think so!

Jason L · 03-21-2011, 08:16 AM

No way!

Yes, it does.

My "i would think so
was "does it = weak nerves" not "would you breed a dog"
I just realized that you asked two different questions.

I think it does indicate weak nerves.

GSDElsa · 03-21-2011, 10:10 AM

Uh, N-O.

Sound issues = weak nerves!

What would the dog do if it was out to pasture with the sheep and a storm with Thunder occurs????? I don't think Shepherds were looking for that type of dog to promulgate the breed.
