I never said retrievers were not capable of being vicious... just that as a breed, it is unusual behavior. The prime characteristic of retrievers is to... retrieve... and be wonderful family pets. Every now and then, an abnormal one will be born who will be vicious.
Just like how once in a blue moon there will be a pit bull who isn’t vicious.
Actually, dog aggression is not terribly uncommon among golden retrievers. And while they are not likely to intentionally bite a person, a child who gets in between them is quite likely to get bitten.
And, of course, you clearly know zip about pit bulls. In my years teaching group dog obedience classes we had a number come thru classes. I never met a single one who showed any aggression in class.
That is not to say that they never can be aggressive, obviously they can. But, your comment is completely unfounded. And that of course is the problem with these entire discussions. The majority of people posting have either had a bad experience themselves or they have had NO experience with the breed and believe whatever they read int he news media. This is surprising for a group who regularly talks about media bias.
