Yes, dogs are only taught how they are raised. My mom knows a lady with a Poodle mix and I know someone who was watching a pitbull for her uncle. Now the Poodle mix is horribly behaved and anyone who tries to pet it gets snarled at, it sometimes even snarls at its owner but not usually. Meanwhile, this pitbull is the most loving and well behaved dog I've ever met BY FAR. The first time I met her she attacked me with kisses. I've never met such a sweetheart. Sometimes her tail would wag so much she would hit it against the wall, causing it to bleed.

This proves to me at least, that it depends how the dog is bred and raised. If you hit, abuse, chain a dog outside, don't feed it, etc. DON'T expect it to be kind and loving. Dogs need to be socialized properly with people and other animals from an early age and that effects aggression. If a dog who was chained in a yard all day and forgotten about, do you think it would be used to humans? That is what causes human fear and aggression. Dogs are not born aggressive, there is no way a dog can be born aggressive, try and prove it to me all you want, it just doesn't happen. If a dog is socialized as a puppy with people and different animals, and it is not hit abused, and trained properly, it will definitely shine through. I don't believe it is a common occurrence that a dog can be wired wrong, I believe people it is VERY frequent that people are though. And honestly, even the most abused and neglected dogs can make great pets when put in the proper home, it just depends on the people who choose to take on the challenge.


About pitbull fighting, well these dogs are trained to do this. They don't know any other life. They see that this blood sport makes their owners proud, and that is the reason they do it. Dogs are extremely loyal to their owners and they want to make them happy. That's how their trained.

Hope that helped you a bit.
