It's an image and a status thing. You can imagine that this type of idiot is NOT a responsible owner, and you can also imagine that this type of idiot is not exactly going to go pick a cute looking labrador for the purpose. No, they're going to pick exactly the type of dog that people are already wary of and associate with aggression, they're going to teach the animal to live up to the stereotype, and in doing so they're going to perpetuate the stereotype. Of course there are bad owners of every breed and aggressive dogs amongst every breed, but some breeds unfortunately attract this type of aggression teaching more than others.
