Ofcourse you can breed aggression, its so absurd to claim that you cant.

They literally did the opposite with foxes. Some guy kept breeding the nicest ones until he got a "breed" that wouldn't want to murder you on sight. I'm pretty sure levels of aggression absolutely are something innate in some animals.

So, indeed, "some guy."
