Oh, so you don't have that dog anymore.  You're welcome.

Anyway, dog aggression really sucks for anyone that has to deal with it.  Happens in dogs with weak nerves, and happens in dogs with strong nerves too.  Though dogs with strong nerves can have a higher tolerance to other dog's crap, they don't generally push for a fight, but they don't back down when one is inevitable either.  A dog can be genetically predisposed toward gemerally disliking other dogs, but environmental triggers and conditions and trained behaviors sort of rule what is expressed and what isn't.

Some dogs that HAVE it don't display it, because they fear and/or love their master's wish, but it still lies under the surface, albeit curbed under general circumstances.  Some dogs DON'T fear the cost of their dog aggression behavior, or their handler compliance for whatever reason is of a lesser priority than their drive to fight and never back down.  With some dogs, the anger of their master is enough to escalate their drive in the matter, and have the opposite effect of the handler's intent.

So whether they have it or not, still doesn't cover whether it's suppressed or not, or even fueled by the handler's mental state.

I remember observing one BH where the dog was literally a complete nervous wreck, and then after later meeting and conversing with the handler, it was absolutely no wonder why at all.  To some extent, we can affect our dog's behavior, wantingly or not.

I still have that dog, Daryl. It's the same dog. I'm a one dog owner these days.

She looks like a very nice dog, Vianden. I'd be proud to claim her too.

Oh, I get it.  You didn't own her UNTIL she got her BH.  Sorry I was confused.

hey Blitzen, what happened to the handler of the dog that deserted the stay to attack? I would be EXTREMELY SUPER upset at the handler more than the dog.
