Staffordshires, which I really like and which have, historically, been exceptionally people-friendly, are becoming a problem here, used as macho accessories and, in the worst cases, trained for dog-fighting.

I haven't run into the term "bull mastiff" before. I do know "English bulldog" but that's kind of beside the point.
