As mentioned in a post above most dogs will bite. What is always a HUGE gamble is the dog that will stay in the fight when the "bad guy" is willing to keep coming forward. That's when the VAST majority of dogs will bale out of self preservation.
This was my point when I talked about most Schutzhund trained dogs wont stay in a real fight with someone. That's in the dog's genetics and can't be truly taught.
Even the dog that is barking and snarling behind a fence,in a car,in a house may be a great deterant because of a great threat display doesn't mean it will fight to protect you.
You think no one will advance on a snapping, snarling dog. What about someone that's strung out on PCP or whatever drug?
MOST pet owners that claim their dog will "protect them" hopefully will never have to find out because it will probably go really bad for them.
I wonder if that gene its what those suckers exploit on pitbulls so they fight to death on the ¨ring¨, because as you said thats something you cant possibly teach right?
All genetics! That's why is so hard to find a good protection dog. The bully breeds are "traditionally" very people safe.
In the show ring the Bull Terrier is what is considered as a "head breed". In other words the best head wins the game.
I showdd a Bull Terrier to it's AKC CH and movement was less important then the head shape.
The head shape is NOTHING like it was when the breed was developed. It's nothing more then a bred for show ring trait. I don't recall ever seeing a people aggressive BT.

Genetics is a very interesting topic, I wouldn't imagine that just by selecting appearance all the working genes would vanish as it is happening with a lot of dog breeds these days, maybe so far away in the future with the cloning system people will be combining genes in tubes to get working lines lol or we all will be having beautiful coach potato dogs, who knows what going to be the need of people talking about dogs in the future.

The genetic traits for a good working dog are hard to come by. Not every pup out of good working stock will necessarily be good working dogs as adults. It may raise the odds but it's never a given.
