My bouvier, in my avatar. Is not the badest dog in the park. But he is up there. And he wont take shit if another dog leans on him. He has a meen streak when it comes to those situations and goes way over the top, when he goes off. He is NOT playing around, his play fighting is,just that,playfull and happy. Some other dog owners have said "let them work it out" In most cases that will work. But, with two evenly sized dogs it can go bad fast, and Bart acts like he wants to kill them sometimes. Wont stop when they give up etc. Its ugly and not something that I would want to watch. Even if hes the one kicking ass. My point I guess, is yeah most dogs can work it out and not go too far. Other more high preformance dogs like pits, shepards,masstiffs, have such a high potential too do real damage, real fast. And just should not be handled in the way RJJ said. That being said, his dogs might be perfecty safe fighting with eachother. I dont know. All I know is I dont want my dog involved in the kind of violence that I have seen from Bart and other fierce dogs. Any dog that can whip Bart or just not get mauled, I dont want him scappin with....lol My baby could get hurt, and I meen badly. Anybody that has seen a real knock down dragout bloody dogfight on the street knows what I'm talking about. I have been around big dogs all my life so I know. I also have been rushed to the hospital from a bite recieved from a Irish Setter. I was trying to get the Lab that had him by the throat, to let go. They have really long fangs...lol ouch!
