If any website has all its incoming links from dofollow blogs or are dofollow, will it raise the trigger of Google to penalize that site? I really think this is a possibility, but then again some sites might genuinely only have do follow so it would be a bit harsh if G penalised them,. No! Links are links and nofollow is just a tag for the crappy ones IMO. Why would Google penalize you as a result of getting too many real links. Obviously no one knows for sure.. but I'm siding with logic here. I doubt you would get penalised, if they didn't like it all they would do is reduce the link juice weighting.

Short answer - no.
I am curious to know what gave rise to this question.
__________________ Getting backlinks from dofollow web pages is not unnatural so you should not be worry about it. However after Google defined nofollow tag for crawling pages, in most normal cases websites have both dofolloe and nofollow backlinks but if all backlinks of a website to be dofollow there is no problem.
Also note that the difference between dofollow and nofollow backlinks is only related to juicing pagerank. This means dofollow backlinks can help your website to get a higher pagerank but nofollow ones can not increase the pagerank of websites. But both dofollow and nofollow backlinks will be counted as backlinks and can help your website to get a higher position on search engines.

Setting aside the fact there there is no such thing as dofollow, would you care to qualify the statement re. all links are "counted as backlinks" and help "to get a higher position on search engines"?

Define "natural."
Then, demonstrate that Google agrees with such.
