a proper, game bred APBT is top dog when it comes to dog on dog combat. No other dog can compare.

No Irina I hate dog fighting, it's so cruel that practice . They suffer to much for some stupid people.
I'm interested because in El Salvador there are stupid people that like to fight his dog just because.
I was waking my dog and a bunch of kid a APBT so I crossed street to avoid it,they laughed at me. There are only 2 CC here so you don' see many and they seek attention .
At the vet there was a kid with a Dogo Argentino and the Dogo barked at my Dog,which is calmed and ignore it,the guy also laught and said "that dog is afraid ".
What I think is that they are going to look a fight leaving their dog unleash and I want to be ready wearing my iron stick because I don't want my dog injured .

QY10 thank you for your answer,helps much
The APBT is simply more tenacious than the other breeds when it comes to that.I don't condone dog fighting, but I do appreciate the fact that it is a part of their history. Especially because I own bully breeds that have historically been used for dog on dog combat. I think it's silly to deny that the fact that it was a part of their history. In addition, the media has built up this hype about pit bulls, dog fighting, bait dogs etc... Rather than taking their word as gospel, I chose to investigate the subject further and read some of the old texts and stories about dog fighting way back when to learn about what really happened and how things were really conducted. Again, I don't agree with dog fighting in any way, shape or form. But I don't agree with the media and rescues perpetuating complete lies to either stereotype a breed, or to help adopt out a dog.

I agree with you about the media. I've seen some videos about dog fighting or dogs attacks in the media and scared you a little,now you don't know if a APBT is more dangerous than a shark at ,the moment you met either one of them

I always thought bull terriers were supposed to be the top dog fighters. Although I'm a bit skeptical of a Pitt being a better fighter than a Dogo. There is a lot of dog fighting breeding in its history and the size diffenrece seems like it would count for something

apbt is the "gamest" breed of dog there is , and pound for pound the strongest ....... there may be some anomalies among other breeds , but they are anomalies .. game is a very useful trait , and it is a genetic trait ........ it's useful in fighting , but also in a lot of other working dog endeavors , it's why pitbull has been crossed into just about everything throughout the world ...... some breeds of working terriers do seem tho approach them in gameness.....

There is a video in Youtube that shows a Caucacian Shepherd killing 2 wolfs saving the sheeps.A real video.If a Caucacian S. is capable of killing 2 wolf,one by one of coarse. How this type of dogs can't beat the APBT ?I know the APBT are very famous in all world.We have very many here,most of them handle by vicious people.But you also find some beautiful pets at homes.They have been raised correctly and are excellent dogs.

Moving this conversation to the "Controversial and heated debate" section of the board. Keep in mind it could also easily be closed if the topic of dog fighting heats up. This topic isn't really tolerated in general. #19 in our Rules and Regulations: We understand, that on occasion, there will be discussions about dog fighting. While we do not support or condone the illegal act of dog fighting, we understand the necessity of such discussions for the purpose of education only. Approved conversations would include discussions pertaining to current events in the news media or historical accuracies on the subject. However, dog fighting is not to be discussed in any other manner including, but not limited to: insinuating or accusing members of dog fighting for pictures they post or posts they make, pedigrees or dogs they may or may not own, etc. If you find you have an issue with something posted to the site, or is in direct violation of our rules, please report it to the administration so that it may be properly handled. Please do not make a post to it.

Well, looks like the thread moving tools are broken... Hopefully this can remain civil.

Sorry if I made a mistake.

Organized dog fights are very different from a one on one, random dog fight, or a guardian breed protecting it's herd/flock/property/people and fighting a wild animal. A wild animal has self preservation at it's core, if it is expending too much energy to obtain a meal, it will stop and retreat or it may certainly be killed. The guardian breed dog does not have that same perspective when it's fighting that wolf, it also doesn't mean that that same dog who killed the wolf would have the tenacity or "gameness" to fight over an extended period of time, as a game bred APBT would. It's just apples and oranges.

On the subject of Dogos, which I know even less about than dog fighting, I was under the impression that while they have some fighting dog in the background of the breed, they have also been bred to hunt and work together, so while there can be some DA in the breed, the worst of that has been mitigated... Is that not the case?

Also, I completely agree with QY10, there's a lot of mythology/misinformation out there about dog fighting and "Pit Bulls" that is frustrating. People generally can't even identify an APBT and everything with a blocky head is a Pit Bull...

Thanks JamieHalverson ,it makes a lot of sense,the APBT is been raised by fighting and other dogs for a different task. Is it that way? Or I'm mistaken.
Very explained what you post,I hope I got it right.

I agree with Glasgowdogtrainer... it sounds like a "Macho" atmosphere in El Salvador, where if you are calm and quiet, you are assumed afraid... when the truth is that your CC is a dog with calm confidence (which is awesome) with no need to engage in silly debates.

I think the discussion was started not because of the need to debate these folks with machismo to spare, but of a fear that if attacked by one of these other dogs, will the OP's CC be able to fight and protect itself. Is that right?

If that's the case, I would carry a bat and some pepper spray to protect HIM and just focus on raising a great dog.
