    How do you feel about if dogs feel their owners. Feel their trust in them before you release, ect
    Some say a dog is like his owner. Would a man with a big fighting heart have better/more game dogs.

    I think "being in tune" is part of the bond ...

    Regarding a "fighting heart," I think this comes in a lot of flavors

    Some people are very quarrelsome and aggressive, but they're not actually very game, and I think some people are pretty peaceful in general ... but if you cross them bad enough they'll fight fiercely if they have to. And dogs are the same way. So, yes, I think people tend to choose dogs that have traits they admire.

    LOL, in fact, I have said this for years, "Stupid-aggressive people like stupid-aggressive dogs ... and intelligent/cagey people like intelligent/cagey dogs."

    Regarding fighting experience, it is actually in my book that I think an owner actually fighting himself, and actually knowing what it's like, will only help him understand his dogs better.

    Cheers,

    Jack
