Fighting Dog Breeds

Fighting dogs refer to the fighter breeds typically used in dog fighting, the animal blood sport with a history that is traced back to Medieval Europe. Though illegal in most countries, the sport is still at large in many places. Active fighter dogs must stay on strict diets and training, so they can fight other such dogs to win monetary rewards for their owners and handlers.

Some breeds that are popular today as fighter dogs were originally developed and bred for the primary purpose of fighting, while other breeds found to be good at fighting may have joined the ranks over the years.
