It always astounds me that folks who run pointers and retrievers can deny that dogs have genetic characteristics. Fighting dogs have been bred to be vicious fighters. They are hard wired to kill and maim, and they do, well. Denial is delusional. They can be very loyal, or not.
It's almost never the Basset hounds. ;-{>8
I never hear gun dog owners denying genetics... It is the pit owners in denial.
