What a bandog was .is a job not a breed and still is a job not a breed today a bulldog is a breed and very rarly a job the old way of breeding and clasifying dogs was by what they did not what they were  if the dog did the job of a sheperd it by god was a shepard with little regards for the color or length of fur  the translation for mastiff  was and forgive me for not being exact but mongral   ! Simply  they breed pure by breeding  sucesful with sucesful  the translation of bandog or meaning was a dog  (banded) or bound  or tied or chained  by day and released at night to deter and mutilate even kill trespassers  thAt is a junkyard dog  since then many breeds have sponed off of this  function in to many more breeds   ..  today if you claim your dog is a "bandog" you better have a title  in personal protection for that dog   with video to back it up!  A pure breed bandog litter is not full of bandog puppys there is no such a thing . It  is  an attempt  to produce  bandogs by breeding a titled female any breed or mix with a titled male  in the hopes  1 mabe 2 have potential of earning a title and then they have earned the title of bandog  the rest of the litter are muts and should be culled  if you want your dog to be a bandog it can be with years of work and dedication but it is not now .. and may never be  find a trainer you 'dont' like have  it evaluated to see if it has the nerves stability and reliability to be trained join a club  its not that expensive  if you like it and your dog dosnt make the cutt  get anouther  !!  If you didnt do your job your boss would fire you and americans  to often put humanity in a dogie dog world
