OP, Xtina, I think you're getting yourself onto a road less traveled. Very much so. If you do get a job training dogs, you'll see, though, that 'breed x does not do <objectionable thing>' is nowhere in the real world.
I don't agree with you, about 'I never trained my dog not to, breed x just doesn't <do something objectionable'.
I don't think that's really how it happens, or how dogs work. At all. Otherwise I would not have been bitten by a Golden Retriever and other breeds that 'don't do that'.
My friend's German Shepherd was 'impossible to train, aggressive, barked, destroyed the house, and went nuts when she took kthe dog for a walk'. Her husband had to rescue her one day when the dog had wound its leash around a tree and literally tied her to the tree. My German Shepherd, on the other hand, was 'easy to train'. We just basically established the calling order and that was the end of that.
In fact, there is just as much variation in drives and desire to do certain things within breeds, as when comparing different breeds. Certainly, there are tendencies. Like herding dogs tend to herd, working dogs want to work, hunting dogs want to run and hunt.
But the fact is, that the dogs in the Miscellaneous breed class, ALSO want to work, hunt, run, and bark. The NonSporting dogs ALSO want to work, hunt, run and bark.
Because they are dogs. Dogs need exercise, stimulation, something to do. All of them. They all need a leader, a trainer, a master. They all need love, food and grooming. All will bark, jump and do undesirable things if they are not trained.
My friend's collie jumps on people and goes crazy every time someone comes up to her.
My dog stands there and looks at him, and then looks up at me with the expression that says, 'What is WRONG with that boy? Does he have a glandular problem?' My dog is also a collie.
My deerhounds would stand there and wag their tails while someone stood on their tail with high heels. My friend's deerhounds, used to lunge and attack dogs and people as they walked by. Why? Because when they looked a little interested, he encouraged them and egged them on. Pretty soon, they were trained to 'not act like deerhounds'.
Of course I don't REMEMBER teaching my dog not to jump on people. I punished him effectively the first time he did it, and he didn't do it again. I don't REMEMBER teaching him not to get in the trash. I got a Human Design trash can he can't get into, and when he sniffs at it, I say 'No', and he knows what 'No' means. It means stop what you are doing or things will get uncomfortable. I don't even REMEMBER teaching the dog to heel. Or sit, or lie down. Because he happened to be an easy dog. On the other hand, my friend has been going to professional training classes for two years and still is in tears after every show. Why? Because she never got the dog's attention, basically.
Breed has something to do with tendencies, temperament, tendency to do one thing rather than another, etc. It has NOTHING to do with 'obedience' in general. A collie may bark more than a Deerhound, but they ALL need to be trained, and they ALL will bark all day if left with nothing to do and never trained not to.
