To the people that are generalizing breeds.... fucking stop it dumbasses! Yes, breeding can sometimes pose a problem but it's the INBREEDING that's a concern, not the type of breed. It can happen to any kind of dog. Also, there are a few bad dogs out there but the vast majority of dog problems (like 99.99999999999%) is due to the owner. And most dogs CAN be trained out of bad behavior. It just takes time and patience on your part.

My Bulldog had some problems with people and dogs which is nothing like the breed. The breed is known as one of the most calm, kind-natured dogs out there. He had issues because of lack of knowledge on my husband's and my part when he was a puppy (we were young and naive then) and because he picked up a few bad habits from my other dog who is a Maltese. I didn't like it and my husband didn't like it so we spent a lot of time with him and trained him out of his bad habits. After some time, Axle became the dog we knew he could be and I would trust him with anyone. We're working on our Maltese right now. She's a bit more stubborn but slowly coming around.

And by the way... a couple of dogs scrapping is not aggression. True aggression is very rare and you can tell a dog has it before it even becomes a concern. And in those cases, still, they most likely can be trained out of it.
