What I've learned from this site is to get a particular breed of dog, you take the personality, health & demeanor then breed w/ an alike dog to get the temperament the breeder is looking for.
So, what is it that caused dog aggression to thrive in the APBT? Was it selective breeding in the early years breeding dominant dogs w/ dominant dogs to get the type of dog they wanted since the wanted to match dogs?
Or - did a person just stumble upon a DA breed & then light bulb clicked, thus the idea to match dogs arose?
How did it all come to be?
Hopefully that makes sense.
Thought about posting this in the working dog section. But the fact there's so many newbies as of late w/ great info - didn't want to miss out on their input too
. Just a basic chicken or the egg type question
