What kind of temperament are you looking for in a dog??? Honestly, typical breed and group temperaments can be described, but there is a really big variation within that description for unique individuality.
There are a gazillion words to describe the different temperaments of different breeds - the tendency to be tough, loyal, aloof, dominant, aggressive to other animals, challenging, yappy, independent, sweet and gentle, just to name a few. As far as being breed specific describing temperament, however, with proper training, encouragment and guidance the temperament of the dog YOU want will be how YOU want it to be.
Just know you will need to research the basic common and general known temperament that is common in the breed you are interested in, and then you will be able to organize and be prepared to maintain the training required to get the temperament YOU expect from the dog.
Yes, some dogs are born with more tendencies towards being more aggressive or more mellow then others - but how you teach, train and love them will make all the difference. Having a dog with the kind of temperament that you encourage and nurture will make for a happy and fullfilling relationship between the dog and your family.
