Raised together they were buddies and often ran the farm with each other. Despite the camaraderie they were extremely jealous of each other when it came to getting love from the family. I can recall several occasion were they had to be ripped from each others clutches over a pat on the head. Usually the only way to get them apart was to spray them with the garden hose.

They were not taught to fight.
I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.. one of the most friendly dogs you ever seen.. good with kids, loves people. However if he sees a male dog of the same breed. my dog is off the hook.. his short hair stands str8 up teeth out and he want to kill.. he has never been trained to fight.. its 100% instinct. your 100% correct. different breeds of dogs are more inclined to fight, just like people. We are all wired different.

Just like when someone is eyeballing you pre fight or even at the mall or when your walking .. For some reason that gets my piss hot , I have the uncontrollable urge to take their head off , just sets me off persistent eye contact.
