By association it was therefore applied to the outcome of such taming, to the gentle, quiet and friendly who, like a well trained animal,...
The sad part of this is that there are many owners who probably rejoiced because their breed is gaining AKC recognition. The forget the reason the love the breed in the first place for its temperament and spirit. The AKC inadvertently changes dogs. The fame and popularity will drive changes in temperament and structure. There will be a big push to...
The rope tug is the most commonly used and offers very good durability and bite. I wonder how you could get your dog more interested in it. Probably the idea is to make it a really fun game and reward him when he takes the bite.
Did you use one of his rope tugs on the pole or a brand new one?
I know the last three are about 10 years. I've seen some live to 12. Not much older than that though.
I hear he's out the breed. Hope he stays away with his rare 180 pound red rare mutts.
I'm no expert but here's my thoughts 1) Given my APBT experience will this be enough to deal with this type of breed? I had both APBTs and Am Bulldogs before my Boerboel - neither one of them prepared me in any way for dealing with this breed but that might just be a size-thing for me. I could always break my pits and bulldogs, but this dog weighs as...
very nice bb congrats
I understand fully your thoughts on the owners needing to train themselves and be prepared for the responsibility of owning large powerful dogs. Sometimes the best trained dogs will behave badly but training and socialization can mitigate the trigger.

Dallas: Texas man who had been missing for months was eaten, bones and all, by his pack of dogs, sheriff's deputies said. Medical examiners said Tuesday that DNA testing determined that pieces of bone recovered from the dogs' feces were those of 57-year-old Freddie Mack, according to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. https://gulfnews.com/world/americ...
Actually Jess. It is a bit different with dogs. You see for the most part our current crop of dogs are bred to do something.. they herd, retrieve, guard, hunt varmints, protect property and flock, and provide companionship. So my point is that if the need is for a dog to hunt varmints .. get a terrier.. that is what they were bred and developed to do.....

I've often thought about testing my dogs in various situations. Unfortunately, finding the means to is another story. Most of the people who would help me know my dogs and vice versa (they'd probably think it was a big game) :lol:

Tibetan mastiffs are monstrous dogs that survive high in the mountains, and now we know their ability to thrive in such harsh and low-oxygen environs comes from an extra shot of wolfishness in their genes. Do you believe it?
The other day I was doing some training with EGP Black Beauty and MQH Paul . I built some agility equipment. I decided to get video even though they aren't ready for competition yet. I plan to update the videos as they progress. After creating the video I wanted to have Paul check out EGP Pretty Girl Sasha to see if she was flagging. She wasn't. I...
Looking for some advice. I live in Central Texas where we have more hot days than cold. What medium sized molossers do best in hot weather?
Hi there .. I am interested to learn about the different types of CAS; Central Asia is a vast area with different terrains; for example only: How many types/strains? What are the physical differences between the different types e.g. CAS from the steppes, CAS from the mountains etc? How can the different types be identified? Does 'type' = 'strain'?...
Just in case anyone was wondering about the size of these dog's...in my profile picture is my Boz (RIP) Oz. In that picture, he was 10 months old and weighed 160 lbs. I'm guessing had my buddy not opened the gate to the yard and got hit by a car, he would have been close to 200 lbs. by the time he had finished. I can say from experience, that the...
Hi! I'm not sure I can express my thoughts about this in english, but I'll try..

The line got started back in the 1930's in Michigan and is named after a dog Ch.Ruffian who was produced by a Plymouth breeder Floyd Klump but owned by someone else whose name escapes me at the moment.

Today, the concept of preventive medicine would be laughable if it wasn’t so tragically misguided. Most vets today believe dogs need the following to be healthy: Major surgery to remove their reproductive organs (and the important hormones they control) Vaccines (with ingredients like thimerosal, aluminum, MSG, formaldehyde and foreign animal protein)...
Sometimes I get asked about the color of a Caucasian puppy and what they may look like when they grow up. Generally speaking, the color does change some and here is an example with Nayan.
Hi Andreas, This is a very nice article.

Good post, more perspective is always welcome. Plus, I always love seeing that Neo statue. [quote1320542476=Astibus] In Shars, mastiff blood does not have a positive result.

The word "Shikari' means hunter, so a "shikari kutta" or shikari dog can also be used as a generic term for a hunting dog or hound. Indeed when people from Punjab see pics of my Caravan hound they refer to him as "shikari kutta" and he isnt a boar hound but a pure sighthound, they consider all sighthounds to be shikari kuttas...
