It's sad really. Their Bull and terrier progenitors were essentially space marines of the dog world. Ancient genecraft of crossing now extinct bulldog and terrier breeds to produce the greatest fighting dogs of their age. Strong, agile, relentless with completely altered temperament and prey drive to other dogs. No fear with other dogs and show less pain. The only dogs where other dogs are the natural prey and will punch above their weight with their modified wide strong jaws. Without intervention they would fight on stopping for nothing until they or the other dog is dead.

There are more redeemed purebred descendants like the English Staffy where carefully over time they were made smaller and their temperament dialled back for the show ring and actual reproposing as a family dog. I prefer that to what happened in America :(
