Petie was a Pit Bull (Little Rascals). Dogs are trained to be the way they are. it doesn't matter if you're talking Pit Bull, Rottweiller, Doberman, or whatever. Dogs feed off of their environment.
I own a Shar-Pei. If you read the books, this is a dog that can go either way - very friendly; very mean. And she can. But she was trained to be mean before I owned her. I've had this dog for about 2 1/2 years now - she is becoming friendlier to others. Does this mean she would shirk her duties to protect the family? I doubt it. Basic insticts will always rule in a dogs life
But if you train a dog to be mean, it will.
