I don't think it is forced, but it is in their breeding/genetics.
Dachsunds were bred for that very purpose. They go right down the hole after them.

goodluck finding one from a working family you could purchase today.
Lots of dogs have "traits" but if they dont wanna you cant make em.

The little buzzard I have will chase down anything anytime. He doesn't care how big or how mean......come to think of it, he might be crazy.

My point was that it wasn't the dogs natural instinct to be put in that specific situation, but it was instead humans that put in him there. I don't think many animals have it encoded in their genes to hop in their car so they can drive around looking for fights. That is pretty specific to humans.

The idea of driving around looking for animals for your pet to fight doesn't sit very well with me.

I really dont care what anyone thinks about my friends bulldog or myself.. pm me if you've got a problem .. Ill settle it anywhere you want for you quick ...

I am sorry, but I really don't want to fight your dog.

Ohhhhhh threats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you bring the dog as well? ROFL

You catch what I posted on Japan?

My grandparents had a crazy dachsund when I was growing up. Whenever I spent the night over there, he would sleep in my room and growl at my grandpa if he dared to go in there.

Bigger than you annelids can handle ...

Fixed. :thumb:

Sorry, missed it.

I'm all for the regulation of it if it were to be re-legalized... but I'm not sold that it is what dogs are meant to do.

Sure they fight in the wild... usually over food, females, or territory. That is because of their natural instinct to do so to protect themselves and their pack... especially when pups are involved.

Putting 2 dogs in a cage to have a go at one another is not natural by any means tho.

Sweet!!! Throwing out the obscure words!!!

I definitely dont want to mess with you now!!!

:rolleyes:
