Uh-huh. That is what HUMANS select for; in dogs and other pack animals, a bit more homogeneity is required. I mean, if I, the Alfa Male of a wolfpack, tell you, a Gamma Female, to go fetch me that there vole, I better be able to expect that you'll do it. Elsewise we gonna have a to-do. Whereas if I, a Human Male, tell you, a Human Female, to go fetch me THAT SAME VOLE, you are more than likely gonna: 1. Tell me to get bent 2. Call the EEOC 3. Call the cops 4. Call PET_A, and 5. Reach for the pepper spray. The important thing to note here is that almost all the HUMAN communication is by cell phone, while all the canid communication is a preverbal series of growls and whines. The BASIC problem is that most human males STILL COMMUNICATE in growls and whines (with the odd belch thrown in for lagniappe), while most human females are not gonna communicate with any human male who cannot purchase a nice cell phone for her, and pay for its use INCLUDING the contractual minimum (not that any self-respecting human cell-phone-equipped female ever even CONSIDERED the contractual minimum, thank you very much INdeed). There now. Clear? EDIT: No, I did NOT take the vico yet...
