Mark Rodriquez Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys, Just introducing myself to the website/forums. My name is Mark, i've just moved over to WA from Adelaide for work. Living out in Byford about 1/2 hour from city on a couple acres. I have a new pup on the way soon, a Bull Arab from Mike Hodgens. It should be an excellent dog. I will be heading out with the boys on as regular basis as i can. Mates here have a couple dogs each, all finding of the back of the ute so will be good training for the expected pup. Mainly joining so i can join in on discussions related to gear, dogs and hunting related equipment. I will be needing a new breast plate. Cheers UPDATE: (Photo's @ 10 weeks old) Edited July 19, 2010 by Mark Rodriquez Quote Link to comment

danny74 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Gday mate Good luck with your Arab! I got a MastiffXBull arab pup! hangn 2 get him workn Quote Link to comment
Mark Rodriquez Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Cheers Guys, The pup is still a few weeks off and prob a 6-8 month wait before i get him out with the others! I can put some pics up when he arrives. I'm not gonna get into all the BS between Mike Hodgens /Peter Paulson /Brian Neal etc. I have read MH's site back to front and seen the other side posted around the web, In the end I felt Mike was at the least very passionate and came across as more genuine. So i went for a dog i think will be right for me (that being a bigger dog and shorter range finder)! I wanted something a little different too and should be getting one of the new blue leopards (merle gene from dane some generations back in the BA bitch). Its going to be a big impresive dog by the looks of things. There are some photos of the litter on his site if you wish to have a look and various merle colored dane photos on the net if you wanna get an idea of the coat on an adult dog. Cheers, Mark.

Dogmann Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Good luck with it all Mark. Hope your dealings with MH work out. It's rare for anyone to admit they deal with the man. I'm guessing you're very, very new to the game. Anyway, as I said, good luck with it all and welcome to the site. Cheers. Quote Link to comment

Mark Rodriquez Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yeah I'm fairly new to the game. There has obviously been a whole big shit storm with regards to Bull Arabs in the last yr or so. Im not really interested in getting into the politics of it all Im open minded enough to give him and his dogs a fair go (far to many nay sayers around), leaving the other BS to those with too much time on their hands. I will say that to date my communication with MH has been good (phone calls/emails), and at the very least he speaks his mind, which i appreciate (easier to comunicat at this level). Certainly i felt i would get the kind of dog i wanted from him and a lot of what he said resonated with me (with regards to the dogs). And this is all im really concerned with!

Dogmann Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Mate if you're happy with the deal and the dog works pigs, that's what matters. Cheers. Quote Link to comment
