Recommended Answer:
Yes, there is, and it is a sad reflection on our white society. There are certain individuals even in Canada and the USA that have specifically trained their dogs to react badly to our coloured brothers and sisters.
And there was a time in South Africa when the Police and the Military thought that this practise was not only justified, but necessary to keep the black majority under control.
If such a dog were discovered on an individuals property it would likely be ordered to be destroyed.

Dog Training: Pro Versus Self-Trained, Which is Best

• Yes,dogs are very smart and most definitely could be trained to attack people according to race or any other specific. They could be trained to only attack people in an orange shirt. But I have to disagree with the statement that went something like poor white society because it is inappropriate to insinuate that it is white society because on the flip side, african americans could train a dog to only attack white people.


• I don't think so. Most often "racist" dogs simply feed off their owner or handler's aggravation, fear, irritation, etc. If somebody generally is uncomfortable around a certain type of person, they may foster that fear in their dog. It isn't racism per se, more like the dog has simply been conditioned to believe that people of a certain description are uncomfortable to be around, or perhaps threatening.
  
  There's a line, and the dog doesn't hate somebody because they're black, or white, or arab, or wear hats, or have long hair or beards, the dog is wary of them, afraid of them, or hostile toward them because personal experience while growing up taught the dog that they are not to be trusted. Unsocialized dogs can also develop irrational fear of, say, hats or beards or dark or light skin colors, it depends on the presence or lack thereof in the dog's normal environment.
  
  [Add] Yeah, I suppose one could intentionally train a dog to react aggressively to a certain type of person. You'd have to train the dog to do it though, or be really bad at hiding your own uneasiness, or fail utterly to socialize the dog. They aren't necessarily born that way, but then neither are we.


• Yup.
  
  Our rescue dog Bear was a German Shepherd mix who stood 32 inches at the shoulder. He had been owned and abused by a white man for 7 years.. a racist white man.
  Bear had no problems with most men. But if he saw a black man, or even a hispanic man, he would either bark and bear his teeth, or try to bite them. I have no idea why, but it was what he did.
