"fight drive"...Is the determination or resolve a dog displays during a prey or defense bite....commonly called "hardness" by Schz trainers....well at least by me and Helmut Reiser..

I would suggest "The German Shepherd Dog" to all of you....
Drives are very much breed related...that being each breed has their own set of drives dependent on their purpose in life...

I once read (Secret lives of dogs) that Pack Drive or the drive to belong is the strongest drive a dog has....I consider this to be true...One study where a dog was placed inside a fenced area that Canadian Geese called home saw the dog take a submissive role role as their protector so he could enjoy their company....

Drive= A physiological state corresponding to a strong need or desire (Webster's Dictionary)
Drive= A strong motivationg tendency or instinct related to self-perservation (Esp. of an aggressive or sexual nature) that promps activity toward a particular end (American Heritage College Dictionary)
Food drive= I want to eat that hot dog
Hunt drive= I have to find the bunny rabbit
Prey drive= I have to chase the bunny rabbit and kill the bunny rabbit
Fight drive= You hurt me or challenged me and I want to kick your @ss.
Defense drive= I have to protect myself or my offspring from the bear that wants to eat us.
Thanks Ginbail, I forgot that one.

everyone talks about drives, pretty much everyone is now talking about being a pack leader. And that's pretty much the way 30 years ago everyone talked about being bipolar, and 20 years ago everyone started talking about ADD. It is always nice to have a nice label to stick on things that don't go well or that we can't really explain. My dog is fat? well, uh, no, he just has a strong food drive. Oh, and he's big boned. My dog is humping the mailman? UM...i dunno whether that's sex drive or prey drive. It's some drive, though, can't be poor training or control.

Even though some people here got the gist of fight drive, I would like for you to explain it in your terms so that I get what you are saying, fully.

Protect. Defend. Vigilance. They have a lot of stuff. That's why they make such good friends and allies.
