Truer words never spoken.
I can remember when German Shepherds were the thug breed of choice. Then it was Dobermans (not helped by a movie in which Dobes were bank robbers). Then Rotties. Now it's pit bulls.
An evil thug could take some of the aggressive field Labs or Goldens that we were talking about up-thread, and with a program of breeding meanest-to-meanest could come up with a pretty dangerous dog eventually. It would take longer with a retriever, but it could be done.
And any of the dog breeds that are fairly 'sharp' and aggressive - a good number of the working dogs and the herding dogs - could be bred into household terrors much more quickly.
The problem is the idiotic, insecure, shiftless trash that would want to do such a thing in the first place. Obviously once they've created their product, the product is a problem also. But you're not going to get rid of the problem until you make the price of breeding mean dogs too high for the trash to tolerate. Jail, fines, immense damages. Otherwise they will create their product from whatever breed is available.
