I can't say that any breed is necessarily better, however, each person should get a dog based on their own personality. Breeds have different personality traits. For me, I love golden retrievers and rescue them as often as possible.
I also have a duck toller. Both are not for everyone, however, as they require a lot of attention and exercise. It depends on what you are looking for in a dog.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
