Is anyone breeding for temperament?

I don't know what you guys are talking about. My MD bps have awesome sweet temperments. Not a single hiss out of the bunch. You guys must not know how to handle them right.... :devilish:

My Maryland Bp loves to hiss too! I think it is a trend....but I heart hissy things.

Oh I handle mine perfectly... He's actually very healthy and eats everytime for me. It's whenever I go to pick him up he greets me with that loving hissy attitude...it doesn't bother me though...He's all hiss and no bite! ;)

That's a myth about spiders ... I have a large number of them here and while many of them have great personalities, not all of them do. ;)
