I doubt the animal is that much different. Just that people used and abused the "practically undying loyalty" aspect to train the empty headed muscle machines to be aggressive/defensive.

That is just how I view it. Nothing but personal experience with many members of the breed, and none professional.

You can't really train a non aggressive dog to be aggressive. There is a HUGE genetic component.

If a dog has the drives to be aggressive you can train it to use its aggression at your discretion.

But there is a reason that labradors aren't used as patrol dogs and why poodles were never used in blood sports.
