this is where you are mistaken... do you own a pitt? i do. I also used to be a dog trainer. Pitts are naturally DOG AGGRESSIVE, and do not NATURALLY havea pack mentality. My pitt Riley is by far the best dog ive ever owned and one of the smartest. He loves any person he meets (but does not like it when people hit one another, like i posted b4 my gf. tried to punch me for a joke i made and her caught in his mouth her arm and stared her down, my friends will start slap boxing and he will break them up) he loves cats and wont even think about harming my lizard or snakes. But get another male dog or a dog close to his size and he turns into a different animal. He will at that point start a fight. just so you know i break any fight up b4 it gets started and punish him for starting it.

I was posting to your last response and didn't see this post. So Thank God you are not planning on fighting your dog. Your dog is obviously an Alpha male who is trying to show dominance over other dogs. I have the same problem with my Siberian Husky, you just have to keep correcting him, but he will always have the tendency, unless you call in the Dog Whisperer.

and i can respect that matty... like i said i was trying to spark some conv... and man i think i got more than i bargained for. But i thought te same thing there is NO WAY they enjoy it... and with some of the fights i saw even the dogs that lost were happy, i know dogs, i esp. know pitts and these dog were actually HAPPY (pitts smile when they are happy or enjoying themselves) tails wagging happy as can be... and they were bleeding and had the same look my dog gets after he gets a treat.

I agree with you slinginsammy that type of cruelty there is no punishment hars or painful enough for in my mind. but not 100% of people who fight dogs treat their dog that way

I would NEVER fight my dog, and GMSUCD you are 100% right about the bad rap they have. I had to move out of VA/DC/MD bc there was not 1 apt. complex that will let you have one (I rescued him the day b4 he was going to get put down). It a percentage of poeple who do that to their animals (even people who fight in dog circuts the REAL dog fighting circuts keep their dogs in peak physical health and dont want to see their dogs hurt) and the poeple who beat and starve or neglect their animals to make them more aggressive, or use rapestands to breed more should have the same happen to them.
