This.
Unfortunately the above case has become all too common, and more well known about the breed, because of the punks who breed these dogs to be aggressive for sport. It is their nature to be animal aggressive because of their original purpose, the problem is when people breed/train them for such a purpose. People aggression is entirely another issue that is often stemmed from dislike of all people because of the isolated and beaten life they live being bred for fighting.
In general they make lousy guard dogs because they are not people agressive by nature. They underlying reason for their aggressiveness is usually their stubborn nature and want to please their owner because they know the consequences of not performing their duties of fighting.
Its really a shame that there are dogs out there being bred for that reason, because the properly bred and trained dogs are as sweet as any retriever or bulldog.
