Pitbulls, and rottweilers were bred to fight and kill. Englishmen of a century ago knew how unstable and dangerous those breeeds were.
Pitbulls and Rottweilers dogs are responsible for the Vast majority of dog caused human maiming attacks and deaths.

Can’t imagine why so many with people would consider having a beady eyed T-Rex jaw dog...

 2014 dog bite fatality statistics

    42 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2014. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 700 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 64% (27) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6% of the total U.S. dog population.2

    Together, pit bulls (27) and rottweilers (4), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 74% of the total recorded deaths in 2014. This same combination also accounted for 74% of all fatal attacks during the 10-year period of 2005 to 2014.
    The breakdown between these two breeds is substantial over this 10-year period.

*From 2005 to 2014, pit bulls killed 203 Americans, about one citizen every 18 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 38, about one citizen every 96 days.

    In the year of 2014, the combination of pit bulls (27), rottweilers (4) and mastiff-type guard dogs and war dogs (4) — the types used to create “baiting” bull breeds and fighting breeds — accounted for 83% (35) of all dog bite-related fatalities.3

    Annual data from 2014 shows that 48% (20) of the fatality victims were children 13-years and younger, and 52% (22) were adults, 20-years and older. Of the total adults killed by dogs in 2014, 73% (16) were ages 50-years and older.
    Annual data shows that when combining all age groups, female victims (24) were greater in number than male victims (18). Amongst adults 50-years and older, females were excessively victims 81% (13), versus males 19% (3).
    In 2014, 19% (8), of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog’s owner when the fatal attack occurred, down from 38% in 2013. Children 6-years and younger accounted for 88% (7) of these deaths.
    57% (24) of all fatalities in 2014 involved more than one dog; 19% (8) involved a pack attack of four or more dogs; 31% (13) involved breeding on the dog owner’s property either actively or in the recent past and 5% (2) involved tethered dogs.

Rottweilers were not bred to “fight and kill”.

Their purpose was herding/drover/cart dogs.

Get your facts straight.
