Herding dogs herd - it is in their genetic make up and intrinsically makes them happy.  Why are breeds known for agression any different? It's genetic and under the right circumstances that lovable, wouldn't hurt anyone pit will kill.  For those who think agression isn't a function of genetics I encourage you to read this articles.  Research now shows  the argument "“That aggression is not heritable is not tenable"

This was fascinating, thank you. 
from the article: 
"The heritability of abnormal aggression in certain breeds of dogs can no longer be denied.  The bodies of these dogs have been selected to execute a killing bite more efficiently than other breeds.  These dogs share physical conformation to the task of killing,  including exaggerated jaw muscles,  heavy necks and shoulders, and body mass that makes defense against an attack much more difficult.  Among people who want dogs who can kill,  these are the breeds of choice because they are physically more fit for it than other breeds." [/quote]
