Fighting dragons are usually hidden on livestock farms. They’re bred and raised over the generations of their humans’ families, to keep them loyal, mentally underdeveloped, and away from dragon society. Different families will breed their dragons over an agreement for desired traits. The dragons are commonly kept from learning to use normal speech, limited to more feral communication methods. They are trained to act normal and non-aggressive, if not standoffish, when taken out. Owners will commonly ride on their backs when going to an ‘event’ or elsewhere, as is fairly common in normal society (even with lords high-ranking; carrying their servants when taking them with them a fair distance). Arenas are commonly hidden in silos or deep inside large cave systems. Owners will sometimes kidnap low-ranking dragons, doing a fair amount of research to make sure their absence wouldn’t be noticed, or trade/buy weaker ones from other families, to use as “bait dogs”.
