But these are not the only things they do to the dogs they plan on using for fighting. It's terrible what people will do for money, but putting dogs against each other is one of them.

Some of these dogs look as if they do not even have ears because they are so closely cropped. However, the short cropped ears do not necessarily mean that he was used for dog fighting. He could have been the victim of a poorly done crop or a "Do it yourself at home" crop. I would not assume that he is a fighting dog just because of the shortness of the ears.

But, just because a dog's ears are cropped too short doesn't mean that it was definitely used, or going to be used, for fighting. A lot of the time, if the dogs ears are cropped too short, it's just because some moron decided to crop their dog's ears themselves instead of taking them to the vet like they should.

If a dog has a tail severed or it's ear shredded, it will be focused on the pain, and not on it's opponent. Also, it makes it helps to prevent the pain inevitably gained from fights in which an ear is mutilated.

It just gives the dog a mean, watchdog look (even though they can be super sweet). But since it is at a shelter, why don't you see the staff if they know anything? I kind of doubt it because then it would probably have aggression problems with other dogs and all shelter dogs are tested for that.

]]> Comment on How did getting a second dog affect your first one? by boxmaker40 http://dogcenteronline.com/how-did-getting-a-second-dog-affect-your-first-one/comment-page-1/#comment-130 boxmaker40 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:15:26 +0000 http://dogcenteronline.com/how-did-getting-a-second-dog-affect-your-first-one/#comment-130 I have several dogs. For years I only had one, but than I thought that it could use a companion so I bought another dog. I had a female first and than I bought the male. They got along really well. They played and slept together. The only time they don't get along is when there is food or treats being given out, they don't like to share. I ended up getting another dog after that to, cause we are real dog lovers, and they all get along really well. I thought that the more dogs I had, the less interested they would be in me, but that is not the case at all. They each wait on my every word. I can't move without my herd. That's what I call them. I think it's good for a pet to have a companion. I'm sure they relate on some level, and they have someone to play with and even if they don't love each other at first, they will still have something going on with the new pet. Just make sure that you always treat them the same. I have several dogs. For years I only had one, but than I
