I have four dogs, all female. The mom is 8 years old. Two siblings are one year old and the other is 4 months old. All of the dogs are on runners. My son (he is 16)takes them out for walks about four to five times a week. He walks them without a leash because he takes them into a wooded area. The last three times the dogs were let loose together, the two siblings would fight. The mom would try to break it up, but she couldn't. the only way my son can get them to break up is by spraying them with the water hose. The last time they fought, they were in the woods, so no water hose. My son left them there and they stopped fighting and came home very hurt. They are part pit bull but real loving to people. Can anyone give me advise on why they are fighting with each other and what to do about it? Other ways to break them up? They were raised together from birth. Thanks

I assume you are a Troll and this entire post was a joke ,correct ???
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in 2000 a study on dog bite-related fatalities (DBRF) that covered the years 1979-1998. The report found that
"the data indicate that Rottweilers and pit bull-type dogs accounted for 67% of human DBRF in the United States between 1997 and 1998. It is extremely unlikely that they accounted for anywhere near 60% of dogs in the United States during that same period and, thus, there appears to be a breed-specific problem with fatalities."
These dogs should never be allowed to be loose.
