It is all in the way the animal is treated and raised. You can make a poodle vicious if you treat it improperly. Blame the owners and trainers not the animal.
The poodle will not be able to rip a baby from its mothers arms, drag it up a driveway, and bite it to death.
The owners were not there.
They didn't understand that it wolf packs only the alpha male and female are allowed to breed and have their pups protected, that pups of any other member of the pack are fair game and seen as rivals.
Most animals love their owners. It's how they react to folks entering the home, or outside.. that is the issue.. We had an Anatolian Shepherd once.. it bit someone--outside. That dog was sent to a farm immediately. And she was the sweetest little thing to my wife and I...
B.S.
Rottweilers have a known trait that make them snap without and reason or rhyme.
Obedient Rottweilers, "Oh that was the nicest dog, I can't believe he would have done anything like this" have killed hundreds of children over the past decade.. How many more toddlers have to die before you Rottweiler sycophants realize that we shouldn't be domesticating these beasts?
That's ostensibly true, and I've experienced being bitten by small, nasty-tempered dogs a number of times in my life. But the thing is, those small, nasty-tempered dogs confined their aggressiveness to a bite, and once they made their point, never went in for the kill, not having the size or the inclination to do so, even if that's what they had wanted.
Aye but Poodles be rats.
It came naturally to the toy poodle we had when I was growing up.
