Not true! Dogs are more a product of breeding than training or how they are raised. For example, pit bull-type dogs are bred to be the perfect fighting dog and while they may not be any more likely to attack than some other dog, when they do attack, those genetic characteristics kick in and someone, or some animal, usually ends up badly injured or dead. True, the owner is still at fault for choosing a large, powerful dog designed to kill, but the type of dog has a lot to do with how badly a person is injured when a fleabag attacks!
I believe that sufficient training can counter the natural tendencies of the breed, but that sort of defeats the purpose.
Dogs are usually purchased and further trained according to the qualities that it's breed are known for.
Is it normal to hate dogs even more,because of their owners?

No, not all dog lovers are like that.
I have a dog and I hate people like that too.
If any person is at fault for a dog attack, it's the owner - for not properly training the dog.

All those people ripped apart by their sweet, loving well-trained pit bulls thought the same thing.
Not with pit bulls.
