Dog Health Questions: My dog bites other dogs...?

I have a Staffie who is about 1.5 years old. I have socialized her since we got her at 10 weeks old. She goes to dogs training and to day care during the week. Only thing is she has started fighting with other dogs specially at day care which is strange because we are there so it's not like she is trying to protect us. I was told that after she has fought she goes and sits in a corner looking very ashamed. Please help as I have never had a dog that fights before (and i have had Staffie's before).

the thing with american pit bulls and staffers is they were bred to be fighters it is in their blood to fight Other dogs. you may have the best socialized pit or staff and still have to be careful around other dogs.you cant expect a dog in these two breeds never to fight if you do have one that never got in a dog fight its whole life you are lucky. trying to deny that they still will be tempted to fight is just lying to yourself it would be like expecting a hound dog to never be interested in hunting or a herding dog never be interested in herding. its just what their original purpose in life was and sadly still is sometimes.

i have owned a few american pit bull terriers while i was growing up and one staff. some never fought other dogs most did get into at least one fight. usually amongst themselves when no one was home to watch them so we had to crate them individually when we left. we never had more then three dogs at one time though we mostly fostered them.

i currently have one american pitty and he does excellent with other dogs but that doesn't mean i am going to ever let my guard down around other dogs especially strange dogs and i always carry a break stick with me cuz you just never know what can go wrong. im not anxiouse or nervouse when he is around other dogs im just aware if the potential danger.
