Dogs guard resources. This is a normal behavior. People often think of their dog as either aggressive or not aggressive as if they can only be one or the other, but any dog can exhibit aggressive behaviors, even if they never have before.
There is a lot of advice out there on how to prevent resource guarding, and most of it is just blather, so we are going to parse through that and determine how much value there is doing these things with your dog or puppy and I'll share my thoughts on the role of genetics and what I think you can do to help reduce the likelihood that your dog will develop food aggression (or any other untoward behavior).
