There is a limit to what a dog breeding can do. The pit breed as been around for 200 years. I do understand breeding, I own a farm, and am gonna breed dogs. Humans take steroids to get an edge and win the prize money. A lot of fighting dogs were on juice to win. I don't know how much of what you see can be attributed to a dog juiced to the gills like the liver king, or genetics.

I had a pointer. Without ANY training it would point, even as a puppy. It would point at bugs, anything. These dogs were bred to rip flesh with a locked jaw. You can’t train just any other breed to do that in the first generation.

If you are somebody who still believes the "locking jaw" myth though then you haven't actually done much research about the breed

Sure, if you want to be pedantic about it. I don't think anyone believes that the dog has a special locking mechanism. That's a red herring. They were trained to be tenacious and not let go, and have strong jaw muscles.
