Dogs of Europe

This is going to be a short little post, but one thing I observed while traveling though Europe were how the dogs acted.

In Greece we came across many strays, they were all well tamed and very mellow...but they may be that way due to low nutrition, energy and being use to human interaction.
While we headed north to England and Ireland I couldn't help but realize how the dogs there were well behaved and mellow as well. They were able to walk with their owner without a leash, and they would faithfully follow.

I don't know of many dogs here in the states that would do any such thing...

We stayed in Donegal, Ireland with Luk's close friend Liam (who showed us all such a great time, and we can't thank him enough!) he had a little dog named Daisy and he told me that most dogs in Ireland are quite mellow/low key and obedient.

So I wonder if it's an upbringing thing or is there something to do with the genetics...
