so let me get some of your research then if you're saying that they were never bred for fighting...if that is indeed what you are saying...I'm not sure.

Don't go all trump on me.

Sorry, this is a debate I have had many times in the past and i have done my research.

I'm happy to quote several other sites stating the same, if you like...

from bulldogbreeds.com
His ancestors were brought to the United States in the mid - 1800's by Boston-Irish immigrants. Originally bred from a variety of bulldogs and terriers, American breeders increased his weight and gave him a more powerful head. A forbearer to the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, they were originally bred to be a fighting dog.


from AKC.org (that's the American Kennel Club, which is no Wikipedia).
THE ROOTS OF THE AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER CAN BE TRACED THROUGH EARLY MASTIFF WARRIORS, TO THE ORIGINAL BULLDOGS IN ENGLAND, WHICH WERE USED IN THE BLOODY SPORT OF BULL BAITING.




Maybe you can offer some research of your own instead of just blowing off mine?

Why do some owners refuse to believe their dogs breed was at some point bred for fighting?

The same way that some cattle dogs will try to herd people or kids and nip them, the same way they would a sheep or cattle.

It's no different.

Genetic instincts are facts you can't avoid.

Educate me rather than just refuting my facts.

You will find I am very open to reading and discussing them.
