That just sounds scary!
I don’t know about the pit bull part but English Mastiffs are a pretty good breed of dogs. I have known several and they were very gentle. Pit Bulls are just plain killers. My stepson has a Pit and so far he is just a big baby but I don’t trust him.

That just sounds scary!
It’s only scary if the animal is not obedience trained and does not know rules. The problem in Palm Beach county is not with vicious animals but with stupid owners. Pets are like children - they don’t come with an owner’s manual. They are dependent upon us to make the correct decisions.
No responsible mastiff breeder will mix the mastiff with a pit bull. The breeder for my mastiff requires the dog male or female to be neutered by age 6 months, or they will not release the bill of sale.
Responsible mastiff breeders will not release a mastiff with a bad temperament. The breeder for my mastiff guarantee his temperament for life.
A pit bull should never be bred to a mastiff. Pit bulls must be individually and carefully trained in order not to be species aggressive and in order to have a correct temperament. Too many people who are completely ignorant of large dog training acquire the dogs for all the wrong reasons.
