Comment to 'Why Sarplaninac fighting lines?'
  • Keith I am with u to apoint. It is an un fair fight for the pitty to go up hill about 50 or 60 lbs. But it is a rarity. if impossible, to see a pure sarplaninac from old working lines that weighs 150lbs! As we all know, 95% of people exagerate the weight of their dogs. The Volkodav, or Caucasian Ovcharka can reach well over 200lbs, and r very simliar in appearance to the sar. and since they and st bernard and newfie have been added to the new sar, its easy to see 150+ pounders. And heres y MOST real sarplaninac fanceirs will laugh at the huge dogs, because they cannot do what the smaller 100-120 lbers can. I mean u take a 150lber or more and move him to the mountains, not only will the poor old farmer not have enought money to feed him and he will starve, but the constant movement thru the mountains, the up and down hills and jumping from cliff to cliff. the unevern terrain would wreak havoc on the poor dogs joints and bones and he wouldnt last. But to get bak to the point, it is unfair for a lil 60lbs pitty to fight an equally conditioned and traind 110lbs sar. Altho the pit is the epitome of pound for pound fighters, he is a living being, not a god. By that i mean, they have limits that even pittys cant overcome sometimes. The reason people brag about a sar or co beating a pit is because of the pits reputation. Plain and simple, thats it! If u put a 110 lbs sar against a co like archi, who happens to be 225lbs, the sar would get womped on! Hate to say it as i LOVE the sarplaninac, but every dog has limits. the video is from 1957
