Are there dog breeds better suited for PALS?
Generally speaking, breeds that were developed to be companion animals are more inherently inclined to be attracted to people. We do have a lot of Retrievers in the program but this could be due to the general popularity of the Labradors and Goldens. Some of the northern breeds, when bred true to their breed standards, can be somewhat aloof so do not make good PALS dogs but, the truth is, for every generalization, there is an exception.
