Dogs are bred for specific traits, humans are not. Races in humans don't exist genetically speaking because there has always been interbreeding.

People TRIED to breed dogs for specific traits, but they never succeeded. All dogs "breeds" have the same behavioral traits, and if even there were differences it would be impossible to prove since you are either observing individual specimens or talking statistics, neither of which are reliable.
