I believe that bull type of dogs are a waste.
There is no use for these dogs, as their temper make them unfit for watch duty, and to use them as fight dogs, the original purpose, is cruel.

Where to start on this ignorant post?! First off American bulldogs belong to the MASTIFF family. They where never bred to fight. Johnson and Scott American bulldogs where bred to WORK. Bait bulls,catch livestock, WATCH property, protect there owners from harm, pull weights and also be a general working dog. Just like the hundred other working breeds. What is cruel about that? There was a strain of bulldog bred by some nut which infused pit blood into the johnson line to attempt to make a fighting dog. This was done in very small numbers and was never a official breed. This has nothing to do with the Johnson/Scott breed of American bulldog. This has happened with every breed you can think off.People fuse different dogs together all the time looking to make the ultimate dog for a various activity. Again, Johnson and Scott American bulldogs where NEVER bred to fight.They are actually considered to be a bad choice for fighting. They lack "game". Gameness is the ability to fight to the death or through any pain. Look it up. They are working dogs. They are also known for how great they are with children and people. You stating bully breeds and generalizing about 10 different breeds shows you have no clue. Do you think mastiffs are pitbulls? They are a bully breed. The word bull has nothing to do with the relation of breeds.
Pitbull TERRIORS where bred to fight. They do not make good watch dogs because they are to loyal to humans.A pitbull will attack a human if they feel there owner is threatened or they have been taught the behavior. The people who own pitbulls are usually tough guys or wannabee thugs these days. They do not train them. They so not socialize them. They incourage bad behavior. Hence that breed having problems. Before them it was Rotts. Pitbulls where bred to fight other dogs. Hence them being prone to be animal aggressive if not socialized. But that is true for ANY dominant breed. Pitbulls where bred to be very loyal and tolerant of humans because the pit fighters did not want to be attacked every time they got into the pit to get the dogs. You would know that if you where not talking out of your ass. Pitbulls also belong to the terrier family. American bulldogs are mastiffs. Hence them being 10 times larger than a full grown pit. The only blood they share is old English bulldog. Which about 90 percent of dominant dogs share
You do know pits are a total different breed than the American bulldog? A pitbull is no different from any other dominant breed of dog when raised correctly. They are not aggressive by nature. I state my facts with scientific proof. You state myths you heard from some idiot. The people who own pitbulls are the ones who give them the bad name. The fighters and the tough guy assholes who promote bad behavior cause these animals to become weapons. A pitbull raised correctly is no different than a Doberman raised correctly. The pitbull actually temper scores much higher. You would know that if you knew about dogs.
Lastly, go look up temperament scores for pitbull terriers and American bulldogs on the national rankings. They score in the low 90's. Better than most every breed of dog.
You have no idea what you are talking about. If you read the first post I asked people who where not fans of the breed to stay out of the thread.I said i respected the opinion of these people. I asked this as most of you people have no clue what you are talking about. Then I have to type 5 pages proving everything you said to be incorrect. To which you come back and claim what I said was not true. Then I have to go get all the information which is scientific and post all the links. To which you go into denial and tell me about isolated incidents that happen all the time with tons of other breeds.
You have better chance of being hit by lighting while winning the lottery than being killed by a pitbull or any other dog for that matter.
