I have to disagree there, Lookout.

We have had the *problem* (I dont agree with this) breeds all my life (hunting family) and once they are in *that* mode (kill or be killed, hunt, etc)...you are hard done to distract them or restrain them.

Even my adorable, Clyde (Bull Mastiff, Great Dane) will hold on till the death. He is the most obedient and loyal dog, an absolute dream with the kids and friends...but throw another male dog into the mix and he will fight until exhaustion or death.

He was bought up well socialised, but was attacked by a large old Rotti when he was 3 years old and now he fights first and asks questions later.

It takes a good while for me to get him off another dog, and the problem is, at 65kgs...he does a lot of damage. He is muzzled when we walk, desexed and I keep him out of that situation as much as possible, but I have no problems trusting him with the kids.
If they are tormenting him, he comes and bangs on the door or lets me know that he wants to get away from them.

Snopes and urban legends say its legit. I do my homework before I post
