Unfortunately most people purchase a breed without doing much research. My experience is that people who focuss on a certain breed do not want to listen to the less positive features, or prefer to ignore it, or think they can manage. Each year we have to deal with people who cannot/no longer handle their LGD, sometimes we replace it in an experienced home, sometimes we have to advice it's better to put the dog down. I agree that there is a lot of nonsense written on websites, but there are also plenty of websites with honest information, it doesn't matter, people usually only read what is convenient and leave the rest for what it is.
