    Donalds Dogs will have a website up shortly. to quickly answer some of your questions: size of the males run between 25-27 at the whithers 110 - 140lbs with the majority in the 115-120lb range Females run 100 - 120 with the majority running approx 105-110. Temperment Wise, the dogs do not like people outside their family, If heavily socialized they will accept those that you allow on your property. They are extremely confident dogs, and are in my opinion the best performance mastiffs out there. Donald Has been breeding his line since the late 80's with a clear direction in 91-92. He culled heavy to get rid of the dogs not up to his standard. His dogs are typey and The blends of dogs used were a variety of Mastiff's and bull and terrier dogs. He is in his 9th generation, and his dogs are getting better. Due to the time and effort put into his program, the percentages and breeds wil not be disclosed publicly. I have owned Cane Corso's and have been around Titled Presa's and I like these dogs better overall, and will be getting a pup or 2 this year. They are not for everyone as you should have big protective dog experience.

    Here is a link to pictures: http://authorityfigga.proboards83.com/index.cgi?board=workingbandogs&action=display&thread=598 Unfortunately the pictures do not do justice to how these dogs look in person. A website is in the works, so it will be up soon. Donald Stocks dogs have no affliation with any other "American Alaunt" breeders currently on the web.

    Thanks for your interest, AaronD First time post here, but I post frequently on Bandog Banter and 13th Legion dog Forums[/quote]

    Im asking a question just a question not to offend anyone. But would any person in their right mind buy a recreation of a dog without knowing what has been put into the making? It doesnt make sense for me to say "Here you go Donald take this $1200 and give me a mixed dog, that I maybe can get for $150 adoption fee from the city pound" :idea:
