Maybe use some common sense if you disagree. Jesus.

It's also bull to say that behavioral traits can not be selectively bred for. It's mainly why breeds exist in the first place. You want a dog to help herding or corralling on the farm? There's a breed for that. You want a hunting dog that has unbreakable spirit and a strong motivation to chase? There is a breed for that. There are hundreds of breeds specifically bred to exhibit different behaviors or strongly target specific instincts. Dog owners shouldn't be shocked when these behaviours manifest themselves at inappropriate times.
