        That’s a great article…

        However the only examples of aggression being related to breed is with Daschands and Yorkies, although the study says that’s likely just to that specific gene also making legs shorter.

        While there is a genetic component to aggression, it’s variation is pretty standard amongst all dogs, except the tiny ones who may have accidentally been selected for it.

        But someone asked you for a source for a cognitive thing and you just randomly linked an article about how breed doesn’t determine behavior?

        Did you know what that article was about before you linked it?___

          However, it is also notable that a subset of large breeds carries the chrX reduced-fear/aggression and increased-size variants in perfect LD.

          I know reading is hard, friend! I linked that as it was the most interesting thing I found while looking off there were other degenerative diseases common in pitbulls, while not being pitbull specific. Did you think me finding evidence contrary to my beliefs would result in me hiding it?

          I’d give you snarky “let me Google that for you” on the degenerative diseases as they’re genuinely interesting, but I guess you’ll never know what they’re about since you can type a comment but not use a search engine.

            People were talking about pitbulls, they average 60lbs, they’re not a “subset of large breeds” like Rottweilers who average 120lbs…

            You’re not being coherent, just trying to jump between “gotchas”.

            Just randomly jumping all over

              You’re right, pitbulls are medium not large, sorry. Nevertheless the study was interesting. Again, wasn’t trying to make a point with it, it was the most genuinely interesting thing I found in my short search about the subject of aggression in dogs. Sorry you don’t agree.

              But since you’re having so much fun chatting with me:

                So you still couldn’t find anything that agrees with you?

                Sorry, not taking the time to help you.

                  I did and put those in the original comment you are being replying to. You just refused to look up anything about them. I have no desire to do your research either, ignorance suits you.

                    You didn’t tho, you have that random article you didn’t read…

                    Although I don’t know why I’d be surprised you’re just making shit up now, that’s all you’ve done so far. I have no doubt you somehow think you’re “winning” whatever is you’re trying to do here either.

                    Have fun with whatever that is I guess.
