no. if the neo Nazis commonly started marching with any colored/type of dogs and then someone went out and purposely bought that same colored/type of dog and that person had some racists issues in the past, it would be easy to view buying that dog as a symbol of racism.

that is not associating all people who own that type of dog with racism - just that it MIGHT be if they have a bunch of other indications they are racist.
