[Servant of the 9]

I doubt dogs have any concept of race -- or breeds, I don't see dogs being at all fussy about their own "races" --- dogs have ways of sizing up people and will take to some people and not to others but it's based on something else.

I think it is based on scent and depends on what people the dog grew up with.

I have no explanation of why they don't like UPS Men.

We had a German Shepherd when I was growing up who pretty much liked everyone but the newspaper delivers. She had a real unreasonable dislike of them, it didn't matter if they were older, younger, male, female, it didn't matter how they brought the paper -- walking, bike, or car --- she hated newspaper deliverers --- the mailman was okay. Finally one of my parents figured it out --- when she was a pup, they would discipline her with a rolled up newspaper.
