I have owned and bred pitbulls for 20 years at one point I owned 9 adult pitbulls and bred and sold over 200 pups. I would think I have plenty of real experience in the breed. what you have experienced with your 2 dogs is so typical of the breed. at some point they will challenge each other and once a fight ensues it is on like donkey kong and it will get ugly within a minute. your gf was inexperienced in how to handle this and I would be willing to bet you were not ready either. unfortunately your probably going to now have to seperate the 2 dogs or part with one of them or plan on this happening again. when i sold these dogs i always said (1) pitbull will be the best dog you ever had (2) pitbulls is like playing russian roulette. unless you have one really submissive dog or 2 submissive dogs your going to have a fight. any pitbull owner should have breaking sticks in the house and in a place where they can be accessed when you are in panic mode. breaking sticks typically are made out of axe handles and filed to a wedge shape where you can work it into the back of the dogs molars then turn it to open the mouth up and prevent them from rebiting again. if your 2 dogs are engaged you will want to leash one of them or both and pull them apart then work them open with the sticks and immediately seperate the 2 dogs by means of cages or rooms because they will get together again. you are welcome to PM me and I will even speak with you over the phone if you would like to know more about my experiances with this stuff..... I love the breed and still have one chocolate red nose who is the biggest baby in the world but she did almost kill my min pin about 6 months ago.
