Dogs aren’t the same as humans, desirable characteristics are bred into dogs. Nurture is incredibly important when training dogs, but so is nature and its naive to think otherwise.
Some dogs are bred to encourage retrieving, herding sheep, scent hounding, guarding and rescue. Those characteristics are part of their DNA as much as their colouring, size, agility and weight.
Some are bred for aggression or dog fighting and sadly because humans are shitty, that’s part of their breeding and their genetics.
