I think you should take him to a vet to be put down properly. Kicking / punching / shooting any animal is wrong, funnily enough.
Think you've missed the point there, somewhat.

Never any issue with the other 3rd dog, Frank. She died about 2 months ago though.Generally he's soft as a brush, always want a cuddle and his tail wags so fast you can cappucino stuff with it. Does this all the time too!
He pulls a bit on the lead but only going to the park, fine on way back. He's just full of energy.
I'm thinking its a pack position thing. TBH I've always advocated absolutely not letting either dog on the sofa or on the bed but my wife will often have Pete asleep on her lap, or sometimes in bed. Bloody soppy women folk
She attributes him with far to many emotions, I'm convinced he doesn't get "sad" cos he hasn't had a cuddle

No, don't think so.
You've evidently not had to separate two dogs trying to tear lumps out of each other then (and I mean "proper" fighting, like this, not just growling, locking jaws or nipping). You do have to be extremely physical to do it and yes, you do have to sometimes actually hurt them to get their attention and drag them off one another.cyberface said:

As if I'd kill my dog with my bare hands in this circumstance! I also don't have a gun.
If I was putting a dog down it would be at the vets, after careful consideration.
I did punch him repeatedly in the face though.....it's a sound technique when a dog has attached itself to your wifes arm and she's crying in pain.
I then proceeded pick hm up, very firmly, by the scruff of his neck and chuck him in the garden. My wife reckons I was too harsh.....but I bloody didn't, I think I should have drop kicked him into the trees TBH.

It's bloody frightening I tell ya.
Hate to think what those fighting pit bulls could do to you if they were properly pi$$ed off.

sounds like you've already 'kicked him in the face', so i will not suggest that 
My descritption of his physical punishment was watered down. It kinda got to the stage where my wife had to stop me from permanamtly damaging the little sod.Beat the shit out of an animal... Did you feel like a big man?

EFAlternative thinking this is also true.Used to be a bouncer. Some of the most nasty fighting I've ever bloody seen!!

FFS whe you have 2 dogs attached to each other (or 1 dog attached to your misses)
then please post how you reasonably managed to get them to stop fighting without resorting to extreme physical violence.

I've heard of that before..hmm.The desription on there about the dog being asleep first is just what happened last night.
I hope it's not that.
If it happens again I'll take him to the vets for looking at and see what they say.
