So we can breed dogs for size, for behaviours like retrieving or guarding, but magically we can't breed for aggression like pit bulls have?

Lmao.

We can actually bread dogs to get them physical attributes but I’ve never seen dog races that were natural home guardian. Pitt bull sure aren’t.

Aggressivity isn’t instinctive, it’s learnt through experience or rather lack of.

Lmao xd lol wtf.

Ehehe you're so mad.

Well-raised pits aren't aggressive. They used to be recommended to watch babies.

"Lmao."

The nanny-dog thing is a myth made up by a breeder and shared through basically Facebook chain letters. There is no historical basis that pits ever were recommended to watch babies.
