Cindy Kerstien's Caveats:
There are a lot of caveats in ratings animals, or any living creature.
1. Differences in individuals (some breeds generally have certain characteristcs,
but you can always find an exception).
2. Differences in ability/knowledge of owners to handle a dog, any dog.
3. Many owners are instant experts and don't even know what they are seeing.
Breed notes are by Lana S. McClellan.
