It’s the owners that teach them to be vicious.

“It’s the owners that teach them to be vicious.”

No it is not. I’ve been a professional trainer for decades and some dogs have been raised to heard livestock, others to follow a scent trail, and others to bite and fight.

It is centuries of manipulative breeding to insure certain instincts are present in the blood lines.

If you don’t believe it go to youtube and search for border collie puppies herding ducks.

The puppies have almost zero interaction with humans and have never been out of their kennels before but when put down with a flock of ducks they begin to “work and heard” the ducks in a very obvious fashion.

That is bred in instinct just as pit bulls have a bred in instinct to bite and fight.

You can enhance instinct and amplify it with training but dogs are either born with it or not. Not every border collie turns into a great working dog but they tend to work things that move, even kids. Not ever pit bull turns into a monster but the time and place that something triggers some into the bite and fight mode is very unpredictable.

Not necessarily. We had 2 pitbull mix. One male, one female, both rescue puppies They were wonderful until one day a cat got into the fenced backyard. I was in the kitchen when I heard the commotion. They killed the cat and ripped it to pieces. I was devastated. I put the dogs in the kitchen and closed the screen door. I bent over to pick up the cat and Daisy came through the screen and attacked me. Grabbing my arm and shook me like a rag doll. Duke wasn’t far behind and tried to get my other arm. I just happened to get free and back into the house. Several stitches later and a couple of surgeries. We never beat the dogs, or hit them at any time. They were great with the grandchildren. I don’t exactly know what turned on in their brain but they never stopped as I was screaming at them.
It’s a primal urge. Needless to say we had them euthanized. I could never trust them again.
