Your first two sentences mostly sounds like a semantic argument to me. While I agree not all dogs within a breed are high risk (especially after quality training and while under the care of an experienced handler), I would say that if the breed exhibits a higher rate of "dangerous" traits, I would consider the breed to be higher risk than others. I agree handlers are and should be responsible for their animals' behavior - but I also don't believe you can fully control any animal. Like us they are sentient and have free will. I also believe that generally a breed/dog's "negative traits" (your term) are the flip side of their positive traits: herding -> nipping, scent hound -> runs off, high energy (work dog) / looks to humans for direction -> anxious / clingy, etc. I think we'll have to agree to disagree. Thanks for sharing your perspective.
