Good question. I don't know. But I think it's like people. Everyone is born innocent and a blank slate. But some, irrespective of their environment, turn out 'bad.' I do think that love and attention with a puppy will most always help create a happy dog. But there could be something going on in their brains where that doesn't resonate.

@Wiseacre OK. I probably should have qualified that by saying some are born with chemical imbalances or other physiological challenges. But I believe that, by and large, we're products of our environment. We have nothing when we come in to the world. Everything is imprinted in our brains.What's imprinted creates the personality.
