Oddly enough, I noticed another difference between Darcy (our Cocker Spaniel) and Butters (our shorkie). The former, despite being generally nice, does have the off-chance of snapping at you, with kids not being an exception. The latter? Never happened and likely never will. Also, Darcy seems to be pretty chill around cats from what I remember(other dogs is kind of an ehh), but Butters goes after them with no remorse. I don't remember how the latter is with other dogs besides Darcy though. On the subject of Butters, I guess it's important to note how she had a bit of history of abuse and if the "recent" (it was years ago) bit of therapy didn't go too well, she would've been put down. It was that bad. But obviously it did go well, so yeah.
