No, I would not think it's breed specific. The nut allergies or toxic foods being mentioned in this thread are not breed specific but a problem for dogs in general.

I've not heard of pistacio's being a problem for dogs, but obviously a problem for your dog. Dogs can have allergies to just about anything, just as people can. So keep him far away from pistacio's. And you might have him tested for other nut allergies or just keep him away from nuts that he hasn't already had and you know he's fine with.
