It's not just the way they are raised....
It is the human interference with this " selective breeding" that has destroyed so many once wonderful breeds of dogs!
Some breeds are so weak from this selective breeding...it has made them susceptible to fatal diseases too.
Staffords were a great breed and if one carefully picks the breeder who has the background info on parentage chances are the dog will be a great family dog, if the owner knows how to raise the dog. That goes for any human/animal association......
There are some human/human relationships that are frightening too.........
