I believe, like with any other type of dog, you have to research your breed AND breeder. If you are going to delve into the pit bull/amstaf type dogs, go to a reputable breeder that has taken pains to breed out the bad and better or protect the breed.

Can anyone show one example of a show bully that has attacked/killed/maimed anyone? How many of these dogs came from reputable breeders? How many of these owners have experience with bully breeds?

They are, unfortunately, the 'in' dog to have in many circles and people don't research the breed, they get the cutest puppy, least expensive or first they find. Mixes with any guard/fighting dog are always a risk as the worst traits of both breeds may manifest.

Dogs that should not be allowed to reproduce are constantly being bred to satisfy greed. It angers me that so many people perpetuate these breeds for fighting and try to breed the 'fight' in. Just a few days ago here, a dog fighting ring was broken up and 16 dogs had to be put down because they were conditioned to fight. It was sickening. None were fixed. It makes me wonder where their puppies will turn up next.
