I agree with you a lot. I'm fine with DA being a trait in this breed. I'm a one dog at a time kinda girl so no problem there. Wouldn't take ANY breed to a dog park and have no issues at all keeping Athena safely away from other dogs if she ever does become DA so to me, even if she never develops it, I'm ready for it.
Anyone who believes DA can be trained out of a dog needs to do a lot of learning before getitng any dog, escpecially ones who are geneticaly predisposed to DA.I myself am perfectly fine with a DA dog, however just because a dog is DA doesn't mean it should fight. BTW I had no idea DA was common in border collies
That being said, anyone who feels APBTS should be kept as fighters because they love doing it, sometimes what someone or something loves isn't what is best for them.

DA is common in a lot of breeds. A BC isn't going to be game like an APBT is, but a decent amount of them aren't fans of other dogs. Mick is very dog-selective. He got into it with another dog last night for getting in his face. It wasn't serious, but the dog got too close, and he let them know he wasn't happy.
