There might have been bait dogs because of the stupid people thinking it's how to get yourself a DA dog. Thanks to their advertising.. stupid people will really think it's how to get a good fighting dog. The truth is.. bait is being utilize in training your dog. You can use cat, chicken, or any object that can tickle their drive up. But you won't give that bait. If they got bored with a certain bait, then find another bait to boost up the drive. You can certainly find another bait since these dogs have a very high prey drive. But letting that poor cute dog die in the vid in the []? I don't think that could get your dog better.. if he fought a real bulldog and he still think he is fighting a cute dog who don't fight back or he can easily overpower.. then he would either cur out or jump over the pit.
