Thanks guys for taking a look... I agree with your assessment Mici... I think size, leg, are a huge concern with them. Mozz I've wondered why collie over a good malinios aren't put into these lurcher type dogs... a malinois would bring more to the table at least in theory like intense prey drive, smarts, without losing any movement, mouth or grit. The problem with putting a lot of shepherd in a catch dog is that you lose some of that "never come off the bite" mindset you get in a bull dog. But in a lurcher it certainly wouldn't hurt much. Do you know if anyone is using Malinios in there luchers..? By the way I'm talking out my ass here because I'm still not sure how you guys hunt over there... Are you running a do-it-all type dog, or do you have specific roles for each? I really like the way those Kangaroo dogs, and long dogs look. When you get your hands on those skinny things they are actually built like a slim bulldog, I sure would like to own one before I die. Hopefully I can learn a little bit about breeding, and how you do things over there... I'm sure we could learn something from each other... Here's to happy hunting.

Oh trust me my dog loves his babies, he lays and licks and grooms them for hours on end... only thing he likes more is his tennis ball!

Well guys thanks for being a LITTLE understanding. I respect dog men in general, but a hunter get a totally different angle from constantly working with his dogs. I for one just like working aside a good dog. Huntint tends to tell you what your working with. I think there is not a better way to test the physical build of a dog than letting it run and hunt. Mentally I think it exposes dogs that lack endurance, heart or tend to avoid the fight (especially catch work). A lot of the breeder purposefully bred out of catch dogs because they tend to be functionally sound. As far as my dog goes these aren't just scattered breed mutts here, you can find those in any America inner city dime a dozen, just breed to be breed. They are culling HARD, putting working titles on these dogs, and still selling them as catch dogs. We always needed a dog to kill the stray dog/coyote/coon, alarm and bite the unfriendly stranger, bay/catch the average pig or mule, or blood scent the deer. While this dog or those bulldogs weren't specialist but got the job done. The place I live raised pigs and donkeys for about 80+yrs. As far as what happening with the bulldogs, it's a sad state of things, and seems to just be an extension of this new zero-reality mindset. I run into ignorance everywhere I turn. I thought it was only the damn yanks, but it seems even the good southern rednecks are buying into all the media BS. We face a lot of BSL type laws but the good thing is in the south the old timers remember game dogs and all purpose bulldogs and don't want that BSL crap here. Sadly I too fear the fear fate of the bulldogs and hounds (in fact all working dogs), one of the main reasons I wasn't upset with biggles personally. P.s. When I say Yanks that means Northerner's had to look it up online to find out you guys meant Americans... LOL

Sorry bud I'm sorry I offended you... I have no problem "p i s s i n g of" and totally understand where you are coming from as far as ruining the red bull. I guess this is a general combat dog we are breed, not a specialist. I'm not looking to push my dog on anyone else. The dog in the picture was 6months and is about 65lbs now probably will top out around 75-80lbs. The breeder is trying to separate himself from pits because of the public's prospective. But in my mind there's nothing like a good game dog, and I've owned a few game breed dogs... P.s. If you forget about my mutant mutt I won't bring him up either, then hopefully we can talk dogs, I'm sure I could still learn a lot from you, I'm not here to talk about my dog, I'd much rather talk about your dogs and what your doing . I'm all about learning and listening.

Oh here's some pictures of my pup, looks kind red bull like and his personality is kinda bulldoggish around the family... The primary difference is that he extremely biddable almost like a collie. On the Sleeve On the suit During OB, showing attention...

Hey Boodog I'm from South TN right on the Georgia border actually some of the property I live on is in North GA. As Far as my pup goes he's a lil to young to be sure of everything I got @ 13 months, but I've used him mostly on a sleev, but boy he is a beast on a suit, real HARD and full bites. Mostly he gets his smart from the Belgian Shepherd and his mouth from the red bull.... I suppose he's pretty defensive considering the Fila Brasilio in there too. You should look "Donovan Pinscher" up on youtube, the Donovan guy is breeding them about 12gens deep now. They breed pretty true, but are starting to lack leg and are shrinking to 65lbs. He has descent prey, and EXTREME aggression. A real rambo... I foresee myself learning as much as I can to hopefully one day produce a line of thin nerved highly biddable terrier type dog,for detection and catch work regardless of man or beast, hopefully with more size and leg. What type dogs are you running? Do you hunt or only do man work? I'd love to learn what type breeding you found working. Thanks guys can't wait to be apart of the board, seems to have loads of info!

Oh I hope it's not a problem but I use a wireless modem for my internet so I don't have a ISP server email address (hopefully we can make an exception for me?). I live out on 80 acres and I'd have a huge fee to run a cable to my home, but I did use my real name and my personal email.

Always wanted to say that... I'm from the USA and only meet a few Australians. I'd love to come down and stick a few pigs with you guys. But most of all I joined this site because I'm very interested in how members breed their dogs. I sure like those pig dogs I see on the internet, they all tend to have the look of function over form for their respective Job. I'm a firm believer that dogs breed just for looks will eventually lead to destruction. I currently only have one dog a bandog of sorts we call it a "Donovan Pinscher". Mostly it's a deep line breed dog of Dutch shepherded, Presa mastiff type dogs and pits... they are about 11 generations deep and run about 70lbs. We do protection sports put I plan to get him on a pig sometimes this year. Anyways I'm just here to learn because I probably won't have much to say.... Thanks for your time!
