WHY WE DON'T DISCRIMINATE AGAINST BREEDS
People with dogs often use breed characteristics as a way of
understanding their pet's behavior. When the family border collie
runs

behavior that has been bred into the dog. But when breed characteristics
are used to make laws or policies, things get tricky.
Find out why the MSPCA evaluates every dog individually instead
of by
its breed.

very specific needs to keep them happy and healthy. Find out why:
