Really? "Science"? Hahaha

The "nature/nurture" debate is a question of how much influence each has - it's not a binary question, but a continuum.

And if the AMVA is saying aggression is solely taught, then they lack any credibility whatsoever - that's an utterly unscientific perspective.

I say this having worked with vets, competed in obedience trials, and trained numerous dogs (with the assistance of very successful trainers). Each dog is different, but there are very clear traits in breeds, achieved by... breeding for those traits.
