[quote=BCofJurai"][quote="boomslang]Can anyone go into the photo gallery and look at all of the different Alano pics and tell me that this is an established breed that has been in excistance for a long time and breeds true to type? If you can, you really dont know dogs. You may find two that look alike but then two more that look like a totally different breed alltogether. Real purebreds (Especially Ancient ones) breed very true to type! Why cant the Alano people admidt that it is a recreation? Anyone care to debate this and I'll be happy to take you to task![/quote] I would agree. The Alano is just another B.S. breed with a fake romantic history used to market and sell dogs. Unfortunatly, that is the winning way these days. People are in such a hurry to own something "rare" that they will believe almost anything.[/quote] name of alano is still in use and was in use for defferent breeds: dogo canario, ca de bou, great dane but spanish alano is and was unique breed. unique in morphological structure and in character. Alano espanol - is a true breed like a koochee dog and other working breeds.
