That's a false analogy. Wild dogs do NOT fight like this. Wild dogs fight for reasons - these fights rarely end in serious injury or death. The purpose of combat, in nature, doesn't require it: once the female is wooed, the food eaten, submission obtained, whatever - the need for fighting is over. When training dogs for combat their natural instinct to temper themselves are suppressed. They are trained to be ruthless, cruel and deadly - to rip and tear and bite until they're forced to stop. That's not "natural".
