I chose Genetics. As mentioned before, you can in other words, help the GSD not exibit the behaviors with proper training. Ultimately, the genetics will shows the GSD'S true colors of how it is.
I once had an extremely aggressive GSD, after a week or so of training, he came around and was a perfect guard dog/ handler protective dog. His genetic lines were to protect, so you can't change dna, only work with it to perfect it. |

I also think the reason you see so many threads on aggression is because a lot of people don't go to a website about dogs until they have a problem. In other words, many people with no problem with their dogs won't be surfing online for help. .

For what it is worth, I think a fair percentage of "aggression" threads aren't about dogs being aggressive at all. They're about the owners PERCEIVING the dogs as being aggressive when they are forced into a situation where they feel scared, threatened, or the need to guard a resource due to BAD HANDLERS/OWNERS.
