It's an instinct not to show pain. It was very dangerous in the wild to be seen as a weak dog. If a dog is showing that it's in pain, it is in very serious pain.

He doesnt show pain because that is how they are bred, they are originally bred as bull-fighting dogs, bred for their energy and toughness My boxer cross is the same, our Dobermann is always playing really rough with him, but it doesnt seem to bother him.

All dogs are like that. They aren't whiney like some people are. They have to be in very serious pain before they'll let it show. I have a 10-year-old Rottweiler who still likes to run and play with our Rottie pup.

Any dog has to be in major pain before they show it. It's a built in self defence mechanism to protect themselves from other animals.
