Well got a ambd and hes been staying in the house no people aggression at all just bull headed at times. Have a male cat that has some male aggressive tendencies. He bows up at the bulldog while I'm feeding one evening they tie into it and I get em seperated. Tell the wife do not let him out back take him out front and supervise him and bring him back inside just to avoid any conflict this was less than a week ago. I was gone most of the day yesterday and she was feeling generous so she goes to feed yesterday evening Im almost home and she call hysterical asking how to get them seperated well obviously she didn't listen to what I said in the first place. Now she's ticked at the bulldog and said he just jumped on the cat. Think he's just gonna hold a grudge against him since the first incident or is it something that can be cured with some electrotherapy?

I would say they do. I had a bulldog that never touched anything but a hog until he was jumped by the same dog twice(buddy's dog) for no reason. After that we could not hunt them togeather as he would jump my buddy's dog on sight. That buddy's dog was the aggressor on more then one dog fight till we banded him. Then he became a good dog lol. No amout of correction would stop him, but damn he was a hog finding, hog stopping fool. We wanted pups out of him but didn't want to take the chance of enhancing the dog aggressive tendancies of his.

I have the same problem , over a 4 yr period my chow and my bulldog have went at it twice , I done the shock theropy and it worked to a extent , if I'm around they are swell , but other than that they don't like each other period , I've moved the bulldog way out of reach , some dogs just don't like each other   Jmo

Thats what happened to that big brindle dog I had and Cody. Cody jumped on him once and it was on after that and the bull dog never went after another dog. They only did it at home though.

I say yes...some dogs will hold a grudge towards other dogs and/or to people as well...and don't get on the bad side of a bulldog...

Some dogs just don't like other dogs

As far as the grudge , he might , he might not , my bulldog doesn't start any fights but if he gets jumped on its on ,

If I was you give them both a good but whooping for any show of aggression , the shock collar could make it worse thinking the other dog is hurting them , just a good ol but whooping works the best
After that if one still try's to bow up , get his nuts cut or repeat the attitude adjustment explain it better the second time , but if you do it right the first time should be no need for second one

I like a dog that never starts a fight but I sure do like to see him defend himself and kick butt when attacked...but one thing I can not tolerate in a dog is one that constantly wants to remind other dogs he is top dog...especially when he needs to be out hunting...

The ole cat has male dominance problem and will have a peeing contest every time in the woods and has already placed himself on the short list for it. The bulldog usually tries to play alot and aggravates the other dogs sometimes by doing so and that causes a squabble that's easily enough stopped with a stern hey or quit. The cat bowed up and growled at him well he didn't do anything just kinda stood up and didn't back down well cat jumps at him and he handled up on him I pulled em apart and the cat still came at him after that. Broke pine limb later he stopped. This time she said ole bulldog just walked out and came up slow saw him and nailed him. Cat got whooped again I got there in time to break them up and the cat STILL went at him after again and he got a pretty good whippin this go round. So think may be time for him to move on to greener pastures.

On the nut cutting thing , I had my chow cut after the first fight , all that did is give him more room between his legs , no attitude adjustment at all , I walked them around each other and if there was a growl I lit them up , as for them thinking it was the other dog , I let them know it was me , I was packing my 40 also just in case they forgot lol

I would say yes as well. Had 2 walker gyps that were litter mates. I guess they never determined who was top dog but one day at about 2 years old they tied into it. We broke them up. Later that day they saw each other again and it was on this time they fought till they couldn't move. We put them in different pens. After that any time the 2 got near each other it was a fight. We tried to beat it out of them to no avail. Ended up getting rid of one. Problem solved,

If he's anything like a mean cur or jagds, I'd say so. Had a buddies dog jump on my gyp and we couldn't hunt them together all he wanted to do was tear her a new one.

Well definitely a grudge, I kinda set him up last night went to feed an called him out to where the male cat is an it was instant he went past the other dogs and didn't even bat an eye and as soon as he saw him he went straight at him so I was there with some "positive reinforcement" so he would know that's a bad idea I think he understands now Wink

   now I will add this little bit of info , I will tolerate a grudge while in the yard .  but if it transposes into the field while hunting , the aggressor is a gone dog .  I have had a couple gyps try to kill each other at home but when loaded up in the truck or turned loose to hunt they were fine together . this I will tolerate nothing less .

I imagine you already know this, but dont think just because he wont fight anymore around you means he wont fight... I learned the hard way. They hold grudges and when the "boss" is gone it is on!!!!

O yea I'm well aware of that made sure the wife understands the seriousness of two dogs of that size tying into it as well and how serious it is to be very diligent when she wants to handle them. I agree halfbreed at the house I'll tolerate a little but if it happens in the field its gonna end permanently there. Hopefully he got the point that he needs to drop it and the cat learned he's not big man on campus and won't try any more males like that because he knows he is not alpha that's for sure, bulldog went at him last night and I think he messed himself. Gonna be very cautious of the situation and watch them very closely and make sure of how they are gonna do. Thanks for the help

They do for sure.    My old pit was zero aggr and I was hunting a dog for a friend and he was always real aggr when I feed them.  This went on for weeks and I thought nothing of it because spud never gave him any attention and I was off on vac 2 summers ago and been out a few days and spud got in his kennel and the poor catahoula had no chance.  Then about 3 weeks later he tried the dog in the next kennel because buster was tring to fight thro the kennel when spud and catahoula were fighting and frill spud died him and buster hated each other
