How come the main dog fighting breed is pit bulls ? Why don't they fight German shepherds ? does it have to do with Pit Bulls being vicious killers ? even Chihuahua fights ? why not

My 15 year old son wants a dog (English Setter or Collie) but we already have a 23 year old Blue Heeler and a 18 year old Aussie Shepherd. My other two dogs are (obviously) very old and I'm very scared that if they get sick, if I buy Jason the other dog, I won't be able to afford the care for Tess or Maggie.

What would you suggest I do?
Jason is very responsible, has a Monday-Thursday job and has offered to pay for the dog. He takes a lot of responsibility to care for Mag and Tess and he makes sure they are groomed, fed and cared for well.

Jason also volunteers at the local SPCA. We are otherwise ready for another dog and I have said that I will think about it when either Mag or Tess pass. We live on a farm and Mag and Tess are well cared for and are VERY healthy. Tess is fine but Mag is deaf in her left ear. Would a puppy make them happy or anger them? My sister has a farm with a Border Collie and Lab so Mag and Tess see them often and love other dogs.

I have 2 greyhounds - one of which is very gentle when it comes to food, but my male dog Max is really motivated by food and when I give him a biscuit or treat he snatches it out my hand and often grabs my fingers along with it!
I have tried keeping hold of the food and saying "no" when he grabs at it, and only giving it to him when he takes it gently, but half the time he manages to get the food anyway - its hard to keep hold when your fingers are being bitten!
He doesn't have food aggression, he isn't trying to bite me, but he gets so overexcited and has such a huge mouth and I guess he just doesn't think that he should be careful!
Any ideas how I can train him to be gentle?

he is smart. he waits for about 5 minutes (when we get to the bottom of the stairs) and then starts barking. today, i put food, toys and a ball into his crate to keep him distracted but he still barked. we lived on the top level with no lifts so it is very difficult to go back up. it is a very quiet neighbourhood and his barks ring through the whole place. what can i do to stop this? my neighbors are getting frustrated. he never used to do this,bu now he continuously barks. he used to ark for i 5 minutes and then stops but today, when we came home he was barking. i didnt go in while e was barking otherwise he'll think that barking means that we come home and let him out. right now, i kept him i the cage so he knows that if he barks, he stays in there. what can i do t stop him from barking?
cannot afford professional, or bark collars
