Yer kinda preaching to the choir here

hunterisgreat, one of the Op's dogs is a pit bull.... if she was to follow your advise the pit bull would kill the older dog and not stop until the older dog was dead. you cant take a dog with over 200 years of genetic engineering to be dog aggressive for fighting in a pit and "let them work it out or not remember the fight"... that just aint gonnna happen with a bully breed... bully breeds are known for dog aggression, you cant just toss them together after a fight and hope they dont remember it...... since you dont own the breed you have no clue what damage a bully breed can do to another dog....

Who said I don't know the breed? just a few posts a back I said "you don't just throw them together". Quite familiar with pbts.

Hey thanks for that vid! Most versions I find lack the strings and horns, not the same without them.

It's an excellent version, if a tad up-tempo

Maybe if it was two labs or just two non-bully breeds in general around the same age, perhaps your advice would be viable.
But this is a 5+ year old pit and a 14+ year old lab.
Trying to force them to live peacefully would get Sania killed.

Have you ever split up a fight with a pit? When they bite, they chomp down as HARD as they can and don't let go while they thrash around.
All human wounds from splitting them up were from Sania. Letting go, bite, let go, bite, let go, bite- that's how MOST other dogs fight.

oops sorry Hunter.. i didnt know you knew the breed.. at least you knowing the breed knows that you cant put them together once they fight, and you cant take any chances and a room/rotate is in order or a rehome
