From one nerd to another, I found it interesting too. I have many years experience working with animals, and I've found much of what the article says is true. They used Cockers as an example, and that is the breed I have most noticed this in. In the line of work I did, if the caller told me they had a Cocker, I always asked what color, before I worked with the dog. Not that I wouldn't work with that color, as I judge each dog individually regardless of breed or color, but based on my experiences with Cockers, I liked to have a little "head's up" on the color to better prepare myself for the challenge.

my parents have a parti cocker who is docile and dolly-like.
grew up next to a grouchy bratty black cocker.
my friend has a red and white b.c. that is untrustworthy and my bro had a red and white husky that was aggressive. I know its all individual situations but I find them interesting!
