Keep us posted as it turns out; I admire your willingness to deal with your friend to get this problem solved. We've got a pit mix (rescued as a pup from the pound; didn't know he was a pit till the vet said he was pit/shepherd). He's a cool dog, lots of energy and loyal. But I know that from his breeding if he ever got into it with another male, there'd be no stopping him. We sure haven't trained him to be that way; pits will fight like a German Shepherd will try to herd anything it can. The thing is to control your dog, whatever it is. Again, you've been upfront with your friend, and not tried to be all sneaky about resolving this. Way to be.

nothing a couple pounds of raw meat with the right amount of sedative couldn't cure....

he may be your friend but nothing strains 'homie-ness' like your dogs killing eachother

when i was a kid one family of friends had a dog named 'bullet' old retired police dog...friendly good with all the neighborhood kids and we all treated him like he was our pet

well another family's father bought the kids a boxer less than a yr old...after he got to be a yr or so he started fighting with bullet (both neighbors lived side by side and the boxer would jump a 6-7 ft fence to get to bullet

one nite he actually got out of his yard when his owner wasn't home and killed old bullet on the street in front of a bunch of us little kids...actually it was coincidental...the boxers chain that was still attached got caught around bullet's neck and suffocated him)

when all the neighbors got home that nite and found out what happened the boxers family had to build a 10 chain link cage type of thing to keep him in....bullets owner was so mad that he promised to shoot the boxer if he ever saw him outside again
