It doesn't matter what a thread starts off about it too frequently descends into petty arguments. Tiring.

That is incredibly scary! To steal dogs out of yards is bad enough but to try and steal one from the owner's possession like that is gobsmacking Owners were obviously very upset - what is happening out there with these dogs that are stolen? And why would they steal a husky - I didn't they would be considered "fighting" dogs Huskis have a think coat protecting the skin, teaches young dogs to bite and hold better and as you ca see in the you tube clip their is a lot of movement with skin and coat, when a lock jaw dog latches they don't usually go for a better grip, A huski may be able to maneuver a counter attack (defense) this teaches the dog to be weary of where it's opponent is and adjust accordingly. Small dogs are used to provoke the fighting dog into an attack, pig and rabbits are also used but the small dog promotes the idea of attacking it's own kind. Not all of these dogs are eager just to attack another dog more often or not they are worked into it. BC, retrievers, labs, huskis and similar even staffys are the next step. A docile friendly dog teaching the fighter the defense of it's opponent and go go after dog bigger than it's self. These dogs are also some times mussled to prevent injury or fear in the fighting dog. GS, Rotties,ect usually mussled usually have a fearless reaction to aggression and a fight back reaction teaching the fighter not to back away. Training a fighter dog may take months and require the use of possible 10 or more training opponents. I saw a very very old documentary on it based out of china and mexico that was decades old but I assume they haven't adjusted too many of their techniques. When someone uses the term, 'lock jaw dog' I know to ignore what they say.

Inez you're always looking for a fight. So annoying.

Done! :)

Oh my god. Inez. There's no debate when you're just going on like a crazy person.

If a dogo featured in a dog bite/attack incident out lovely media would report it as a pit bull anyway.

Without trying to sound annoyed, they wouldn't make good fighting dogs. APBT make the best, that's why people use them. Whenever I read of people suggesting other breeds are for fighting I know this person is not speaking with knowledge but with fear and misunderstanding. I find dog fighting absolutely repulsive. Please don't make out every dog that scares you is used for fighting.

Sorry. Redundant.

It's a pity that so many things in the world are considered in so many ways by what an idiot might do.

Despite me liking them, this is sad but true.

Beautiful dogs! I have Bombon on dvd too. It's a great movie! I imagine this breed would appeal to many bull breed owners. Yes it's a shame they are banned. They are hunting, not fighting dogs usually. Ear cropping, like all breeds is for aesthetic reasons, no true purpose.

My Amstaff is 2.5 years old and I've never cut them. No dew claws. Daily walks on footpath and some concrete in our yard must be enough.

I'm sure they'd be quite a responsibility. Amazing dogs.

Why are there no prosecutions? This is awful!

Haha! Excellent! Very sweet!

Err, one can have an ignorant opinion. You just proved it. Having money to do the right thing doesn't mean it gets done. Many people in poorer situations do just fine with their dogs. This awful circumstance is the result of poorly managed dogs, not low income.

Stop with the apostrophes. Oh and the ignorance.

What a stupid thing to say. People that can't spell shouldn't have access to a computer.

I have bought two bags so far. My dog loves it. Eats it straight away. Feel like I'm cheating him a little as I've fed him on Nutro since he was a puppy. He seems to be doing great on it.

Ricey I wish your words could be heard beyond the limits of this forum. Spot on!

Shared. Good luck!

Ugh.
