As you may know I've recently had a dog attack on my son, they would not hurt a fly they cry. Fuck of all dogs have an inbuilt ability to attack any other dog/human without provocation.
As do humans. It's all about the way you are brought up.

I did think about changing back to blinkpip, but was worried I would get locked out (as it happened to others) Can't believe it's been over five years since I really wound you up about stoning your dogs. Everyone grown up (apart from DMR), not much bollocks topics exist nowadays.

Even as the owner of a dog from a normally placid breed I would have to disagree with that. All dogs, however normally good natured, can't be guaranteed to act in a certain way at a certain time.
I genuinely believe it comes down to what the breed has been bred for and how it gets raised. Dogs that were bred to hunt, fight, chase, etc are far more risky than those that have been bred to help humans - St Bernards, retrievers, new foundlands, etc. When my nieces come round and start pulling my dog's tail and falling on her, she doesn't ever growl or look to get vicious, she just takes herself off out of the way. I think it helps that she's older (11 years) and has always had little ones around (see my point about how they are raised) but I'd trust her to be fine with even the most horrible little brat.

nuture not nature - same as people, the difference is some breeds are capable of inflicting more damage due to muscle/jaw/teeth/build etc, same as people

So you think owning, say, a Japanese Tosa is just as risky as a Golden Retriever?

Oh I agree, it is largely about nurture but there must be something to this nature malarkey otherwise why would specific breeds be listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act?

Sure we've had a similar debate before? I've always had dogs, Doberman, Staffy, Corgi, mutts, labs and retrievers. The softest, most placid, was a staffy X, the most aggressive was the fucking Corgi!
