Does the cap fit, me thinks

said like a true para

I sadi the above earlier, and i stick by it. If a dog is brought up correctly and exposed to things in life then i think it is rare to find a naturally aggressive dog. Granted, there is a fine line between aggression and guarding, but nevertheless there is a line.
Obviously natural guarding of home/property or whatever from ther guarding AND non guarding breeds does not count as aggression in my eyes.
When i say aggressive i mean a dog that wants to bite or has bitten, is untrustworthy in most situations etc etc.
This is of course, not including aggression for health reasons.

Paul, yer have it in a nutshell, we die with our boots on.
