Dogs bred for police or military work should be bred and trained with the ability to call them off an attack and any that don't or can't measure up to that skill should be placed in a home with a knowledgeable dog handler who knows the danger he's potentially undertaking and sufficient fencing as to keep the public safe.

But when those dogs carrying the genes bred for professional pit fighting get into the public sphere as "pets", it can be potentially very dangerous. I can't imagine anything crueler to do to a wonderful dog breed and the pets and humans who might come into their orbit than breed it for its more vicious, dangerous dog-fighting qualities such as sustaining a death-hold until the prey stops moving and then allow some of those dogs to get out into the public as pets for unwitting families to own!

Yorkies were bred to break the necks of rats
