    Sometimes the breed temperament has more to do with it than anything else….

    But also assholes all seem to like the same breed so….

      Breed temperament is a thing, but all dogs can be good dogs. Most are good with only slight work. People get a breed they can’t handle and no one’s happy.

        It pains me to say this as a great dog lover, and someone that has known some very loving pitbulls, Sadly not all dogs can be good dogs.

        Like people, some are just born as “assholes”

        But yes, breed temperament is a thing. Not an absolute thing, but still a thing.

      My buddy legit owns a dire wolf (half wolf, half dog) and never had a problem in the last ten years. He owns a large chunk of property so the dog isn’t restricted to one room in an apartment in the city, and he knows how to handle a large animal. I will say one thing, that thing commands respect, it’s easily 7 foot from back paws to front paws.
