Dogs have a wide array of learning capabilities, behaviors, and individual traits that make them unique.
It is true that a good owner gives every dog a better chance, but there are literally dogs that have anxiety disorders, and mental disorders.
Yes, there are bad dogs. There are breeds that are way more prone to attacking and killing dogs and kids and people. And while a bad owner will make it worse there are lots of good owners that have had to put dogs down for attacking people.
Yes there are bad dogs. Period. And a bad owner just makes it worse. But all dogs aren't "good boys" by default.

I agree 100% with you, my point is that the dog is just a dog. It can't help what it is, the owner absolutely can. So, if you are someone who wants the type of dog that is know for attacking people, you better be able to handle it or the consequences.
You can't blame the rattlesnake that bites someone who gets too close; the snake is just a snake, it's not bad or good.
