Are you trying to imply that many generations of selective breeding to enhance certain fighting traits would make a dog more likely to attack?
I agree that the owner has a lot to do with how a dog is but in the end different breeds have focused on different traits. Some things can't be trained out of a dog, they can only be suppressed. I could keep my lab from swimming but that doesn't mean every time he see's water he's not going to wish he was in it.
