Actually, your Pit Bull would probably start off by getting a good neck hold - on a mouthful of hair and loose skin and not have the sense to let go while the pup turned inside that loose skin and went to work on your poor Pit...

But dokhyis are not about fighting. They only do it when they have to, which is rare, because most predators (two- and four-legged) are smart enough to take the many warnings they (like all livestock guardian breeds) issue. For the four-legged predators, there are scent markings along the perimeter of the guarded area. For all predators, there are "announcement" barks ("Big dog on duty here, don't bother.") and posturing, thunderous threatening barks, charging - followed by actual attack *only* if the intruder is too stupid or desperate to have heeded all the warnings.

Of course, all of the above pertains to dogs bred for function. The "Chinese Tibetan Mastiffs" being bred now are of questionable ancestry - and certainly *not* bred for any function other than making money. Nonetheless, I suspect that even in this overgrown (180# at 11 months!!) puppy, enough instinct would remain to make a hostile encounter with your Pit an unfortunate one for the Pit. So please keep your doggy and your ego on a leash...
