"Vicious" Dog "Fight": Shiba Inu vs. Pitbull

If you didn't guess by watching the video, there's nothing vicious about these two girls playing together. Shiba Inus and Pitbulls both have unfortunate reputations of being difficult to train and/or aggressive. I am a firm believer that a dog's attitude is reflective of its training. Shelby (the Shiba Inu female) is my AKC agility dog who shows at the Open level in Standard and the Excellent level in Jumpers with Weaves. Holly (the Pitbull/Lab mix female) is a well-socialized dog who loves to play and doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. Her and her litter mates were awaiting euthanization in the south before being shipped to a New Jersey no-kill shelter. Love your dog.

As a responsible pit bull (pit bull mix) owner, I hope you never truly trust your girl to not fight with other dogs. Always watch and supervise closely and NEVER leave them together unsupervised. People need to stop saying the "it's all in how they're raised" concept because just like a lab was born to retrieve, a herding dog will herd, or a watchdog will watch, a pit bull was bred for hundreds of yrs to fight among other dogs. So dog aggression/intolerance can happen at anytime. Be responsible.

In any situation, dogs should be supervised for play and social interaction. Nature is a large part, sure, but so is nurture; neither can entirely be considered responsible. I see what you're saying.

And then you actually watched it and realized it was sarcasm, I'm sure. I would love to disappoint any people who are truly looking for dog fight videos.

I have both breeds & they adore each other. Thank you for posting this video to show how sweet & gentle both really are!

I gave it that title just to annoy people who really wanted to see two dogs fight (you'd be surprised how many people are really hoping to...it's sad). I think it doesn't depend so much on the breeds, but the personalities of the dogs. Does the Shiba Inu spend a lot of time around other dogs? If they have both been well socialized with other dogs, just introduce them on neutral ground so neither feels obligated to defend his/her turf.

that wasn't a fight. That was just scratch and sniff -___-

my shiba inu does the same thing when play fighting, he whips his little butt around like a tail whip to avoid getting bit
