What are the common dog fighting breeds? An article to help you understand
Dog fighting, as the name suggests, is mutual fighting between dogs. It originated as a folk game in the Song Dynasty, and over time a group of fierce and combative fighting dogs has formed; they often have a strong prey drive. Common fighting dogs include the well-known Doberman Pinscher, but the breeds of fighting dogs are far from limited to the Doberman Pinscher. Below, let us learn together about the common breeds of fighting dogs.
1. Pit Bull
The Pit Bull is currently a relatively common fighting dog breed, and it is also recognized by the American Kennel Club as the most formidable fighting dog. The Pit Bull originated in the 19th century and has a sturdy build, well-developed muscles, tenacious endurance and a clever mind. A relatively representative breed among Pit Bulls is the Bandog, which has an extremely fierce and brutal temperament, very much in line with the American appreciation of the spirit of quickly killing an opponent.
2. Tosa Inu
The Tosa Inu is a Japanese fighting dog, very skilled at hunting wild hares. Although its destructive power is ordinary, its spirit is extremely tenacious; once it fixes on a target, it will bite and not let go. In past Japanese fighting dog competitions, many Japanese Tosas were very thin and weak; not only thin and weak, some even had problems with their hind legs, but what the Japanese cared about more was that indomitable spirit.
3. Central Asian
The Central Asian belongs to the tall wolf type of fighting dog. Its characteristics are speed and great strength, but its willpower is relatively weaker than that of the Tosa Inu. In addition, the Central Asian has a relatively large physique; generally, some reach 150 jin or even 200 jin, and those with a shoulder height above 80 are everywhere, so the destructive power of the Central Asian is also among the very best.
4. Bull Terrier
The Bull Terrier is a fighting dog bred by crossing and mixing Bulldogs with old-style English Terriers. The Bull Terrier has a round and powerful body, a thick chest and neck, and a strong and powerful muzzle. Although it is a fighting dog type, the Bull Terrier is devoted to its owner and especially friendly to children, making it a relatively reliable family guard dog.
5. Rottweiler
The Rottweiler is physically strong and moves swiftly; it is the embodiment of courage and strength, and was once used purely for guarding herds of cattle and sheep. However, because of its approachable temperament and its smart and strong characteristics, it is now widely praised as a police dog. After strict training, it can serve as an outstanding police dog, able to obey commands and attack intruders.
In summary, the above is an introduction to the common breeds of fighting dogs. Overall, there are many breeds of fighting dogs, and their main characteristic is being fierce and combative, but it is reported that some underground gambling dens also often use these fighting dogs in gambling, causing these dogs to be battered and bleeding, which is very cruel. Everyone is advised to be brave enough to report such behavior; dogs are humans' good friends, not tools for making money.
