There are the following dog’s fighting breeds: American Staffordshire terrier, Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull, which are descended from the bulldog and the mastiff. At the same time there are also no fighting breed dogs: German Shepherd Dog, Central Asian Shepherd Dog, fox terrier, Caucasian Shepherd Dog. Comparative analysis of these two branches and the foundation was laid in the subject report, as well as an experiment, which was conducted earlier.
Here is the experiment, mentioned above; a dog was held on a leash by his owner and then appeared an “incentive” for about 4 meters (a man, a ball, other toys, dog, etc.).The whole point of this experiment is that researcher followed the reaction of the dog. So non fighting dog breeds reacted differently to “incentive” depending on gender, breed, age, situation, etc., but in general these dogs were quiet. The quietest dog’s breed was German Shepherd. Fighting breeds behaved absolutely opposite way. They didn’t react to the appearance of man, but reacted to the appearance of another dog with barking or attacking a subject they have always responded to consistently. A special aggression was caused by the other dogs; even some were simply unmanageable and were ready just to devour his potential victim.
Fighting dogs guard the territory, which they imagine as their own and of course by the appearance of displeasing to them object, they are ready to attack. Fighting breeds dog attack always comes without warning or permit from a position of strength and aggression.
Non fighting breed usually growls, barks, stands on straightened legs, rocks preventing the enemy. So this warning is very eloquent and understandable to all people and animals that live next to the dogs. Fighting dogs behave in a diametrically opposite way. They crawl up to the victim (especially if it is a big dog) without growling, and suddenly pounce on it. In the animal world the attack on the brethren isn’t so widespread, so the behavior of fighting dogs is very abnormal.
The ancestors of fighting breed were taken in England, where fighting with them were fun, furthermore people could make money on their fights. Dogs were fighting not only with each other, but with the bulls, donkeys, lions and sometimes won. The winners were selected for further breeding. Fighting dogs were always fighting alone, therefore there wasn’t ability to communicate with the other dogs. But this fact developed the skills such as courage, cruelty, aggressiveness, cunning. They attack dogs indiscriminately, whether a puppy or an adult female dog – all of them are equal in this regard. There’s also Puppy Dog fighting breed, which inherited all the signs, mentioned above.
Staffordshire breed is closer to the most common breeds of dogs, but they can’t form flocks, because they absolutely can’t get along with the other dogs. It’s seldom that the dog, which belongs to fighting breeds, doesn’t grow aggressive, but it depends on the hosts. Rarely are those who are ready to make all possible efforts directed towards the education of normal dogs.
