Oh I do get about a bit. But can assure you in the parts of London I'm
most familiar with, the most common dogs ain't 'fighting breeds' I can
only assume you're familiar with some of the sink housing estates. And
fighting dogs will be common there the country over.

Is Isleworth a sink housing estate? That area seemed to be rife with
them. I spent quite a bit of time around Syon Park and despite having
lovely rover views, some very nice pubs and restaurants I loathed the
place because of the aggressive *******s and their dogs on the street.
Apparently it is a very popular area with folk in the "meeja" or was,
most of them seemed to be BBC staff with a need to be close(ish) to
Shepherd's Minge.

However, even a so called fighting breed can be a good pet. It's to do
with how it is treated from a puppy. Same as most animals including humans.

Well the ones I see on the street or in the Royal Parks seem to be
trained to lock their jaws and to hang on until something is dead.
