Neither of my dogs have inappropriate aggression, so no "issues". Raven is from a BYB and Kaiser is from a BYB/rescued.

I tried.

Sinister has no aggression issues and he is from a BYB.

Yes. Dog aggression. I adopted her from a shelter at 12 weeks.

I've owned 1 byb dog, 1 shelter dog, and 1 breeder dog. None have had aggression issues.

I've fostered over 20 shelter dogs. One was human aggressive and had to be euthanized. None were dog aggressive. I think a lot of aggression issues are actually owner/handler issues.

Bruiser aggression issues are a lot more under control with training, for me it seems to be a growing issue as he becomes more mature he becomes more protective. I work with him daily as he is so sweet otherwise, I also think it is just part of the breed and was ready for some of it and some of it got me by surprise. Bruiser is now 10 months and I don't let him off lead when hiking since so many dogs are off leash, I need more control. If on lead I will say 'no' and tell others to get their dogs and he will stay with me. It's tends to be other owners I get angry with as they just let their dogs roam free.

My dog had issues with leash reactivity around other on leash dogs when I got her, but I do not consider it aggression. So it depends on your definition of aggression.
I also would not be able to choose any of the poll options, since I got her from her previous owners, not from a BYB, breeder, or rescue. Her previous owners got her from a reputable breeder.

I marked rescue, but my most dog aggressive one, Max, has to be a BYB due to all his issues health wise.

This may be a stoooopid question but do you want any negative answers? The title asks does your dog have any aggression issues. My answer is NO.

Yes, dog aggression. He was purchased as a puppy from a reputable breeder.

My GSD was from a BYB and had no aggression issues.

Skylar came from a reputable breeder, was fear reactive due to an attack when she was a puppy. I trained and socialized her through it, she's fine now.
