Yeah, one of ours, a corgi, has been been on the war path since she was six weeks old. She's great with other dogs that she knows, and fantastic with kids. Otherwise, any new stimulus might as well have emerged through the floor, straight from the bowels of hell, and nobody can sense it but her. She's on constant guard duty, warning off would-be invaders and giving instructions to fellow defenders. This conflict between the forces of good and evil has raged on for a little over four years from her perspective. War is hell, and apparently she loves every minute of it.

And secret heirs to family estates have great, savage hounds painted with phosphorus and set loose on the moors.

I mostly agree with this. In my experience, though, different breeds tend to have different dispositions.

And I feel like you could be a lovely meek person and have a wild ass dog because you dont know how to train it.

Or got a poodle because they think that's a fancy dog only to find out the fucking things are positively spring loaded.

"Eugenics for all." (boooo!)
"Very well, Eugenics for no one." (booo!)
...
"Eugenics for animals, manifest destiny for humans." (yaaay!)

Absolutely. Early socialization is also a huge factor. And no matter the breed, they all have distinct personalities.

Yes. And terriers are little bastards.

All the losers that think pitbulls are just dangerous are going to lose their mind to this post.
Like an American pretending their government isn't controlled by lawless pedo freaks.

They're being specially hostile to 1 user on Lemmy who gets really out of pocket when someone brings up pittbulls.

Thank you, everyone completely proving my point.
It's not the genetics of the animal that makes them horrible. It's the environment that they're too stupid to vote against.
Dogs don't get to vote against their environment.
What's your excuse?
