Dogs and their owners often have similar personalities
A study by the Max Planck Institute shows: Dogs and their owners often have similar personalities in warmth and selflessness.
Similar personalities strengthen the bond
A new study by the Max Planck Institute has found that dogs and humans with particularly close relationships share similar personalities: warmth, enjoyment of time outdoors, and selflessness.
Positive personality traits in dogs include energy, affection, openness, and agreeableness. Antisocial and destructive dogs were associated with problematic relationships.
Excessive attachment as a problem
Highly attached owners can frequently cause psychological problems in their pets, such as increased separation anxiety. Prospective owners should focus more on personality and attachment aspects. More on the topic of wildlife and studies.

More on the subject of recreational hunting: What the research says about this is shown by Hunting fact-checked: the state of research.
The position of IG Wild beim Wild: IG Wild beim Wild rejects recreational hunting. Our model is the canton of Geneva, which has managed without recreational hunting since 1974: without hunting seasons, without hunting dogs, without driven hunts, without high seats, without the animal cruelty and crime that go hand in hand with hunting season elsewhere. What has worked there for over fifty years disproves every position paper by JagdSchweiz. An association that bases its policy on claims it refutes in its own documents is not a professional organisation, but a factory for misinformation.
