If you want to take it in that direction then, when it comes to an infant, an infant doesn't care whether a chihuahua or a german shephard is attacking it.
I don't know why you are getting all worked up about this; I'm presenting facts and you are clearly unhappy with science and facts.
If you think the facts and science are stupid, then I think your opinion is stupid, and we can rest our cases.

Just saying you’ve got “facts and science” on your side doesn’t mean much while you single-handedly take the cake for the most ridiculous, nonsensical, and flat out wrong posts in the entire thread (including possibly one the dumbest comparisons to racism I’ve read on this board). I’m not worked up about it, I was honestly shocked I read something so ridiculous that wasn’t meant as a bad joke.
Like yes, the difference between a chihuahua and a German shepherd still matters a whole bunch to an infant. Have you ever seen either of those two dogs? Have you ever seen an infant? I’m just trying to gauge what level of reality we’re playing with here.
If breeds don’t have any distinct behaviourism traits, why are some breeds harder to train than others? Why are some really high energy and requiring a ####load of exercise to maintain composure while other breeds of similar sizes are considerably less? Why are some used for herding and others aren’t? Aren’t all dogs just interchangeable then?
And that’s not to mention their physical traits, which you’ve already brushed off as well. It’s not some red herring, it’s common sense, the minimum level of sense we like to see from the human breed.
If breeds are all the same behaviourally, then you win. We can just destroy all dogs over a certain size. No worries.
