A bloodline is only as good as the people breeding them. HA dogs are coming from bad breeders, not any particular use or bloodline.

Yup.

And I want to touch on something that I see repeated a lot, and that is that guardian breeds are human aggressive (HA). Guardian breeds were not, are not, and should not ever be HA! There is a huge different in a dog understanding what is a threat and what is not a threat and in acting appropriately versus being outright HA. An HA dog makes a piss-poor guardian dog regardless of breed. Guardian breeds should be confidant and should be able to think through a situation and make a decision as to there is truly a threat or if there is not a threat, and even if there is a substantiated threat it doesn't mean that the dog's next step is to bite/attack. So let's quit repeated a myth that only hurts all those guardian breeds out there.

Personally, I believe the HA dogs came about when people got their hands on a genetic fluke that had an unstable temperament and instead of shooting it as should've been done, they bred it to another unstable dog. And IMO this all started when these dogs became popular as fashion accessories and people began wanting them for looks and did not really like/love the APBT for what it was, but rather wanted it to be a penis extension for themselves. I also believe that all this outcrossing to create bigger and more "badass" "pits"/"pit bulls" has also led to this increase in unstable dogs. When you start breeding mutts, it's a total crapshoot as to what you are going to get out of it. Especially when what you want out of it is an unstable dog that growls and attempts to bite, or does bite, anyone and everyone.
