It's not a fact.

Dog breeds are an incredibly poor predictor of behaviour. Behaviour is heritable to some degree, but the breed itself doesn't really determine it.

I think the primary problem comes down to there being enough demand for a breed that unscrupulous breeders will stop taking temperament into account in order to produce more puppies.

Breed matters so much less than how you treat them. That’s all I was trying to say.
