True, but that can be done with any breed of dog.

Meanest dog breed I’ve every come across are poodles. Snap happy, bi polar breed in my honest opinion.

Any breed can produce a mean dog. The meanest dog I ever had was a 15 lb Jack Russel. I got him when he was 6 weeks old and he was raised gently with nothing but love and good treatment. He was a mean untrustworthy biter, probably his entire litter was the same. I finally had him put to sleep at 14 years after he bit me twice in 2 weeks. I suspect a pitt puppy from a fighting strain would be the same as my JRT, only able to do a lot more damage.

Lousy breeding (by “mills” for example) can do that. An uncle of mine had a poodle that was fiercely possessive of objects. If any of my dogs snapped at me when I took something from them, they’d get a one way trip to the vet (if they were lucky). Cocker spaniels and chows were notorious bad tempers; again, due to indiscriminate breeding.

I thought you said there were no vicious breeds.

We've had this conversation before. I took up your challenge then and I asked my vet. He said that there are definitely breeds which are much more likely to attack with little or no provocation and less likely to break off the attack once it starts. Although he was generally opposed to a breed ban, he said that there are some breeds of dogs that he would hope his neighbors don't get and he wouldn't be that upset if his homeowner's association banned those breeds.
