Hi Tonedog. Over the past 12 months I've been talking to two LGD breeders a fair bit about LGD reaction to a feral dogs. There is a good forum on dolforums.com.au. It's called Livestock guardian dogs. The general consensus of opinion is as follows. CAO - go straight into combat. Kill the dog, then track the others down. ASD - give warning bark,then if dog does not go away kill it then track others down.It kind of has a scale of ferocity with CAO at the top(in Australia), next down ASD then all the others. I was told by Lilli of Takasvolkodav to get a CAO as they have the inclination and power to deal with any feral dog threat in Australia. She told me that only a harder edged ASD would be suitable. I started this thread because I was starting to think maybe a CAO or a hard edged ASD would be too much dog for me. So I'm open to suggestions.I think your statements about LGD are questionable.

I'd like to talk about American bulldogs from lines other than pure Johnson. I'd like to hear about Bandogs on feral dogs. I'd appreciate it if you or anyone you know has had experience with Bandogs, American bulldogs or Amstaffs on feral dogs in Australia. To reiterate I'd also like to know if anyone in USA is using APBT on feral dogs. Thanks.
