I disagree. While abuse will always lead a dog to be more aggressive breeding can do the same thing.
You can also raise a tiger or lion from a cub, and as a zoo keeper it will be gentile with you AS LONG AS YOU FEED IT.
Some species of dogs are still physically stronger and even with small dogs, depending on personality, even if you don't abuse them, can be protective of humans they consider to be family. Dogs still require constant attention when they are dealing with those outside their family when they are of powerful size.
I think this is way too much of an oversimplification of nature vs nurture.
You can breed a dog to be more aggressive even without abusing it, just like killer bees arose out of someone trying to breed a bee that could make more honey.
The best that can be said about any large powerful dog is it still depends on the individual personality of that dog regardless if you abuse it or not.
It is not nature vs nurture, but BOTH.
Let's try to keep this thread jokey, Mister Jokey McJokeface.
