[QUOTE]Originally posted by mustanggt5091: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by n8y8: [qb] no those really aint the same. Behavioral traits that you pick up based on your surroundings or up bringing are not hereditary. I agree you cant generalize the species in a manner that some have. But like the other person said, it is a 60lb dog that needs to be treated as a 100lb dog. Meaning it is not your average dog remember that. Special considerations and concessions need to be made. Thats what some pit bull owners dont understand. Probably shouldnt let spike roam free at a kids b-day party with 50+ kids there. Those dogs have 2 sides to them. Almost like a recessed primal instinct gene. [/qb][/QUOTE]I really would like to agree with you completly but while the enviorment does play a HUGE role in the overall personality of the dog, heridity does still play a key role. I am not saying that all mean dogs are made that way because of heridty alone, but that dogs that come from a line of chosen short tempered agressive parents, their offspring will naturally have the shorter temper and be naturally more aggressive towards other animals. With these dogs it take a especially dedicated owner to give it the correct upbringing from a very young age to help try and cope with the dogs naturally tendencys. My particular dog is one of these sorts. She can be a handful at times but i would never trade her for anything. I plan on owning many many more of these dogs!!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
