Are Pitbulls Fighting In Their
Homes?
It is a common trait for all Pit
Bulls to demonstrate some level of aggressive dog behavior toward a
strange dog. It is in their inherent nature to do so. It is a trait
that was emphasized to them during their early breeding as a fighting
pitbull and one that is difficult to possess in today’s society.
Pit Bulls were bred for many generations to be fighting dogs. But just
because they were originally bred to fight does not mean that they are
vicious dogs. That is not the case at all. However, it is accurate to
say that many Pit Bulls are naturally inclined to behave confidently
and sometimes aggressively toward other dogs. It is also accurate to
say that most of them are naturally inclined to win a fight should
another dog start it.
Pit Bulls that stem from genetic lines that were producing fighting
dogs are more inclined to have this tendency than Pit Bulls from lines
that were not selected for fighting in recent a generation. In any
case, regardless of how long it has been since your dog’s ancestors
were used as pitbulls fighting, his instinct and ability to fight
another dog remains with him.
It is in his blood and one of his original reasons for existence. So
keep in mind that the gentlest and calmest of Pit Bulls who will never
dare start a fight will also never dare back down from one that another
dog has started.
Each breed of dog has a tendency to do what its genes tell it to do.
Refusing to accept that fact is not only unfair but irresponsible.
Denying that your Pit Bull’s heritage is one of gameness and toughness
is like denying that a Golden Retriever has a tendency to retrieve.
On the other hand, retrievers are not the only breed that is inclined
to retrieve, just as the Pit Bulls are not the only breed that is
inclined to fight. If you are adamant about not getting a dog that
carries the possibility of being aggressive or fighting with another
dog, then it is wise to not get more than one Pit Bull.
With all types of dog breeds out there, there is always a great deal of
variation. Many Pit Bulls get along wonderfully with other dogs while
some may not get along with them at all. There are also many breeds out
there that are far less tolerant of living with other dogs than Pit
Bulls are.
Although Pit Bulls that were brought up in a fighting environment and
came from fighting lines are most likely inclined to be aggressive
toward other dogs, other breeds that were raised in the most
friendliest of homes and came from the gentlest of lines may not get
along with other dogs.
