Well, I would assume you can find great as well as really bad temperaments among any dog breed. If I were to leave this dog alone all the time it would probably become neurotic and horrible. A lot of people get dogs and then leave them alone most of the time, they're pack animals, you're going to have negative consequences. So I guess it comes down to how did those people treat the animals they had, and were they well bred animals or did they come from poor parents.
