[quote=Platz]"They love people" That's wonderful. :roll: No dog that gamey can be trusted around other animals PERIOD Very few people can offer a proper life for a rehabed fighter. There are too many other dogs out thier that have a much better chance at a sucessful rehab to be weasting time & energy on ex-fighters.[/quote] platz, ive had a few ive had as house dogs and they got along with the other house dogs and animals in the house, including birds and a ferret. ive taken one of those dogs to hunt wild dogs cuz he was a big dog and the same dog never changed his attitude around street dogs or dogs in a park or especially in my house. the same dog and a couple others ive had as house dogs were rolled a few times, and they get more dog agressive with dogs they sense are worth it, but they never changed their attitude with familiar dogs. if you put a pitbull on a chain and take him off to be worked and school em on dogs , they will do as you let on. IF YOU TREAT IT LIKE A BULLDOG IT WILL ACT LIKE A BULLDOG. other experienced breeders of gamedogs i know of will keep one in the house and they will not bother the other dogs. some will be taught wrong and this never happens. i can tell you some stories of dogs that were on yards full of gamedogs all being schooled for the pit, and ones that were keen on the owners intentions by just being trusted and give more attention to and bred aroudnthe yard would not mess with the other dogs, until the are whistled to to jump the pit wall in the barn and then it was on. these dogs from michael vick were treated like all hell i can imagine, makes me sick how they stomped and beat some of them, because they didnt know how to treat a bulldog. even so many of those resued dogs will happily play with other dogs. im not saying its easy or just any dog can do this if they have free run, but i know many have done this and were still gamedogs. you can take any bulldog breed worth the price of dog food and keep it on a chain and it will develop aggression out of frustration and having the only outlet of energy and the experience off the chain is in a fight or working alone, so they love it. band dogs are BANDED DOGS, and they are developed as much as inherited traits.
