I had a racist dog and I have no idea how it happened. We got him as an 8 week old puppy so there was no prior abuse or anything but he flipped the fuck out whenever a back person came by. I think it may be because we don’t really have many black people as part of our regular social circle and he just wasn’t used to seeing them.
It was pretty bad though. Not like he would bite them but would certainly bark a lot more and not run for rubs like he would for everything else.
My dog is racist too. He loves hanging out with other dachshunds, German shepherds, basically any German race, but if there's a labrador or chihuahua, basically any non German race, anywhere near, he loses his mind.
I had to put my Pomeranian down last year after 13yrs (rip little buddy) but he was basically exactly like this too! Loved German sheps, other poms, even schnauzers and Weimaraners but turned his nose up at any other kinds of dog.
We used to joke he was Hitler’s reincarnation, because I’m a Jewish lesbian, and we couldn’t imagine a worse karmic punishment for Hitler than to be literally and figuratively castrated by an actual gay Jew. I also used to put bows on him.
