Temperament: What happens when two cocker spaniels give birth to a Doberman?

Since temperament is largely an inherited trait, a baby’s personality almost always reflects his parents’. However, just as brown-eyed parents may wind up with a blue-eyed child, mellow parents may unexpectedly give birth to a T-rex baby who makes them run for the hills!

Parents sometimes have difficulty handling a baby whose temperament differs dramatically from their own. They may hold their sensitive baby too roughly or their intense baby too gently. These parents need to learn their baby’s unique temperament and nurture him exactly the way that suits him the best.
