Alright. So you're one of those people who think all dogs are good inside and if the dog is agressive then its owners fault?
Some people who have dominant tendencies that are raise by parents who abuse them or encourage violence, often create a violent adult or even a criminal who attacks others.
I have a male Amstaff who is dominant with other dogs but I have channeled this energy to friendly playful behavior. Because of that he plays rough with other dogs but has yet (In five years) to show signs of aggression (even after getting bit by a golden who's ball my dog took from him).
What many people don't understand about dogs is that dominant does not equal aggressive. Dominance can easily be turned into aggression but it can also be channeled in other ways. Take Allen Iverson for example, he is a dominant human but his energies of dominance have been aimed in another direction....get the picture. High drive is the same way in border collies....just easier to channel.
