That said, with the all junk some of these guys bring to a hunt I sure would be angry, if my dog gets jumped and lays down,submits appeasing the aggressor and killing the fight before it starts, then my dog gets scratched?
So I would ask how often does the non aggressor end up on top of the aggressor and pin it to the ground. If the non aggressor doesn't flee, (leave the tree) avoid or lay down and submit, but ends up on top. I would question why shouldn't this dog be scratched? So common sense would tell me, more times then not the aggressor is the dog on top, and if not I would question how the non aggressor got on top because clearly it mush have some experience fighting others dogs to get in that position.
If my above statement is true that the majority of the time the aggressive dog is the dog on top, which I believe to be true. I don't see how we can logically decide to scratch the redbone.
I don't have a lot of experience with seeing dogs fight so my opinion could change but I would think the non aggressor typically would lay down or leave.
I have seen my share...fortunately dog fights are not too common these days. From what I have seen the scenario where the typically non aggressive dog ends up looking like the bad dog and getting scratched for it happens more often than it seems like it should.
In my experience it seems like to me this happens more often with females, but it can happen with males too. What I have seen several times is a female that is non aggressive, but a good hard tree dog getting badgered or bullied by another dog at the tree. Usually it is nothing more than face barking or running around the tree and crowding the first dog. She feels threatened and does something about it.
I believe this is instinct with the females and the same type of natural reaction when they are in heat and gathering males attention, but not quite ready to breed. Every male that tries gets quickly put in his place.
Some dogs, males included just act this way all the time...if another dog tries them they react. In doing so many times they get scratched...if the rules are followed and applied properly. Sad thing is that these same dogs will not bother a fly as long as it don't bother them.
This is the main reason why UKC does not bar a dog for fighting once...it can happen to the calmest, coolest dog. But three times...now we have to consider is it really the rest of the world?????
