All the boys years ago had pitties, so there would be a pack of about 6 and cattle dogs and bitzas running a muck most weekends and on trips away. They all 99% of the time got on fine but if it ever did get over zealous with the PBs the only way to separate them was with a break stick or the only other thing I’ve seen work was not a finger but a hose up the arse and then turned on.
When hunting sometimes they could never get the the dogs off a kill so the dog still attached to the Roo would be thrown into the back of the Ute to follow the pack.
Never went on a hunt as it’s not my thing. But know of a couple of times when the Roos went down proper fighting.
Most notably was the time the dogs had chased some Roos into the bush and everyone chased, after awhile they could here the carnage and dogs yelping. When they came over the top they found a big Roo waist deep in a river sitting on its tail holding some dogs under the water with there strong limbs and ripping the others a new ahole with its massive claws.
Think they lost 3 dogs that day and I think that is what you call karma

Unfortunately this is probably because they didn't know what they were doing, and why should they? There are only two ways to get a dog that was bred for fighting to let go of another when it is serious about it. One is with a break stick, inserted behind the canine teeth/across the molars and then twisted. The other is to choke the dog with a lead or belt so that it has to let go to gasp for breathe. In order to do either, you need to get the dog's body between your knees and one person holding each dog (assuming both dogs want to fight) to stop them re-engaging once separated.
People will tell you that a friend of a friend stopped a dog fight by sticking a finger up a dog's arse, squeezing his balls, throwing water on the dogs, etc. but none of these will work for dogs determined to go at it and they will not give a shit about you. Pulling the dog away once it has a grip on the other dog won't work, all it will do is pull the other dog in the same direction.
The difference between two dogs having a scuffle and dogs that were bred for it actually fighting is huge, and the latter is scary. You won't see gore and flying limbs, but a dog that knows how to bite, hold and shake is chilling.
Sorry for an unpleasant post.
