For the most part, they were bred to fight against other dogs. They have a tendency to be dog aggressive but with proper socialization and training, they could very easily be dog friendly.

If I remember everything correctly, dogs that attacked the referee in the "pit" would be culled. Therefore, no human aggressive dogs were bred.. dog aggressive, yes, but not human aggressive.

And to answer your last question, all dogs need constant training and socialization.
