I read your research paper and concur 100% with your statements. It's not the dog but it is the owner, breeder and the background of the dog that determines the dog's personality. Owning a dog takes on a lot of responsibility and can, easily, be compared to raising a child. Children need: love, discipline, a schedule, companionship and supervision, nurturing parents, a healthy diet, etc and most of all, socialization!. The list can go on and on.
My friend has a GSD that is so loving, kind, responsive and all other good traits of a dog because she has been raised in an outstanding home. She's an awesome dog and I'm proud to say that I found her for my friend.
You can take a dog and make him/her into whatever you want vicious or loving and it all depends on the owner (with a few exceptions). If one abuses a child you get a vicious child and the same goes for a dog. The main thing is to get them while they're very young and raise them right with the proper attention and guidance.
Thanks for your paper!
