I am sure they will, but this is terrible. Not much additional info at the moment as to who the dogs belong to and how the attack started.

Warning - The footage is potentially upsetting

Weimaraners were bred to bring down wild boar, your own wolfies were bred to hunt, the british bulldog was originally a "pit bull" As I said, the AKC have rebranded the Pit Bull an "American Staffordshire"
Any breed in the wrong hands can become a nightmare, ban the Pit and the people who want a "hard" dog will choose another.

But I don't think you will ever breed dogs with the killing instinct of the bull terriers. Bull terriers are a breed apart, they will just keep going until they have succeeded in their goal. Don't get me wrong, I like the bull breeds, but the pit bull is no ordinary bull dog, it is in a class of its own! and I doubt you can breed that kind of tenacity into most other dogs. As for the wolfhound, It is probably one of the world's most stable and unaggressive breeds, but yes it could be made to be more aggressive I'm sure.
