Well said. Just too many fighting, super-aggressive genes in the gene pool at-large pool now, apparently. A reputable, quality breeder who has carefully bred for temperament, health and conformation for years probably still has the dogs of old - sweet nanny type dogs. They are sweet & loving creatures by nature, without the desire to aggress.
