The Most Popular Breeds of Fighting Dogs
 Dogs were first trained to fight hundreds of years ago. Dogs are quick learners and can
adopt fighting behavior easily and speedily, unlike most other animals. First of all, dogs were trained to fight large
animals such as bears, tigers and lions. Later, they were taught to find against one another. This is where the concept of
dog fighting comes in. Dogs fight in the wild over mates and territory and some breeds are naturally more aggressive than
others.
In ancient times, dog fighting was very popular and a common pastime. It was considered by many moralists
to be cruel and highly immoral so, after a while, dog fighting was banned. It still took place illicitly but, if caught, those
involved in the organization of dog fighting events would be jailed or heavily fined. There are still people arranging dog fights
today and these people are considered dangerous.
