Not true. I have an English Mastiff. They used to be used to lead warriors into battle and also to fight bears. They are mainly known for being guard dogs in houses. My dog, Bella, is the exact opposite. My aunt has a tiny little Bichon pup... Who is about the size of my dogs head. And my dog is terrified of him. It depends on how you train/treat your dog, not on the breed. My dog could easily kill me or my younger brother but she's never even growled at us. So no. It does not have to do with the breed
Of course it matters, your dogs may be like that. But breeding and nature play a part, just as much as nurture.
Some dogs are bred purely for violence, the ONLY reason they exist as a breed is because at some point, they have been bred to fight.
What breeds do you see vicious maulings from? Spaniels? No.
Fighting dogs.
My family has bred dogs for over 50 years.
So don't talk like you know just because you have a dog.
Um.... Certain breeds were bred to fight. BUT what was also bred into them was the loyalty to humans. All domestic breeds have an instinctive loyalty to humans. Sometimes that could be to one human, a group of close humans, or just humans in general. It also depends on the dog's natural disposition. You can have a litter of sweet, friendly dogs of whatever breed, and then one or two dogs that are just mean. No matter what you do, they just won't cooperate.
I guess the point is, dogs are a lot like people. Don't judge a group by a small number of them. They're all different and have different personalities.
