*So you have never heard of dogs killing other dogs, animals or humans? (It's called bad temperament and/or lack of socialization/training/opbringing or simply prey drives )

*So you don’t think a male will mate any bitch in heat and also a 6 months old bitch or even his own daughter or other females in his dogfamily? (It's called a natural drive! and survival capacity of the species)

*So you don’t think a dog will defend/fight for e.g a toy, bone or food? (It's called resourse guarding or food aggression)

*So you don’t think e.g. growls and disobedience etc. are “fashion statements” (It's called dominance or lack of leadership)

*So you think dogs live in peace? I bet you have never experienced a dogfight. (It's called war on death and life)

Dogs act by instincts, drives, senses and experiences (good or bad)
