Well said! And rep+1 as a good Leader!
The reason most people aren't concerned with breed sooo much is a dog is a dog as far as aggression is concerned. Some breeds are more prone to agg. tendencies ( lap dogs, herding breeds, shephards, malanois, SOME lines of Bully breeds, etc.) BUT a pack oriented species follows pack law 99%+/-.
A little history/rant to see the lack of value in breed for a general diagnosis on aggression. But we would not go as far as to try and "walk them them through it".
Even though an APBT is more powerful than most, by genetics a well trained bully (bull terrier, pit bull, am staff) will carry less % of aggression and are less likely to bite or become vicious unprevoked than MOST breeds. They [APBT] are one of the most tempernment stable lines out there. (Look here for info:
http://atts.org/breed-statistics/statistics-page1/) this doesn't mean less aggression, just, like Popeye, "I am what I am, and thats all that I am!" Once trained for better or worse, that is what you will have, they don't waver.
This is because, over centuries, these were combat/companion and LASTLY protection (thats natural in canine pack order). A gladiator dog was not treated how you hear on the news! A REAL Dogman of past was there in battle as well as nursing each other back to health. In a "REAL" pitfight there are three people and two dogs in a confined space. One "ref" and two handlers, the dogs fight, the Dogman/handler was there for the protection of his dog not the lining of his pocket! (I do not fight and do not condone it FUCK ABUSERS OF ALL KINDS!) If a dog has lost or gives up or a round time is called, combat is ceased. THE DOG CANNOT, CANNOT TURN ON HANDLERS OR REFS this would be dire and swift! The dog must keep its wits during combat or it becomes a liability, so would be culled out and its aggressive genes are gone too. Over centuries this has made some lines of Pits Grand Champ yet can be stolen with a happy face and a promise of a ride in the back of the truck. Really! People buy German Shephards and Belgian Malanois to protect Pit Kennels. With good temperament can come vulnerability. And the better the dog the less likely to run into aggression issues.
***With that said, with the influx of people with bad intentions and bad breeding practices, this % is swinging quickly!! Breeding for standard, looks, etc. before temperament AND As people breed for aggression instead of protection the offspring becomes unreliable and unpredictable. Who wants a machine gun with an unpredictable hair trigger? ***
Treat the species first: its a dog, this keeps it simple. The trainer himself will address the breed.
If it was a question of running off, or peeing/shitting in the house the answer is simple, lack o training, 99% of the time. Like a beagle its your job to get on a horse with a red jacket and a horn and do a fox hunt. If not he's not fulfilled he's gonna act out and that is your fault. If hee pees/poops inside its a lack of guidance/supervision/training so shoot yourself in the junk! If he's fulfilled and balanced then 99% of the time it is simple, PACK STRUCTURE. That's the illusion, that's why "trainers" actually make $, people lack pack order. And have no clue how to establish it so we beat our dogs and yell at them etc. that is NOT ORDER!
I try to diagnose the issue and even remedy the issue before even asking, when I get stumped I may ask, is this a bird dog? Or its a terrier isn't it! Because of the nuance or the jist. It, I believe is more natural because dogs don't address breed difference, if they did we would have to explain to Guido the Chiuahua to quit attacking Tinkerbell the Great Dane. And feral dogs would pick teams.
Sorry bit your post seems ignorant, I know its meant as a joke but still idiotic.
