@ Andreas, It seems like a case of ‘Same Sh1t, Different Country’ After my visit to the show a few weeks ago nothing these exhibitors say surprises me. I guess I’m lucky I do not enter Juno into the beauty pageants. Like you said idiots who are ignorant to history. Sure she will never win in the ring when judged against today’s standard but these guys should acknowledge history and the fact that there is still various type of dogue being born in litters which reflect the dogues ancestry. While out last night chasing rabbits (which she never catches) Juno caught the scent of a fox who was probably out hunting rabbits it self. She worked her way back to where the fox was and worked him out by digging and climbing around the fallen tree he was under. The fox bolted and she gave chase, sprinting through 1 field cleared a 1 metre high barbedwire fence and into another field, a distance of about 150 metres (160 yards) covered in seconds. The fox eventually went to ground in a thick briar ditch. Juno paced up and down the ditch but was too big to get into the deeper part of the ditch where the fox was hiding. It was good to see her use her nose and find the fox then to watch her turn of pace as she took off after it, she was very determined and was not going to give up. I wonder if their dogues would be athletic enough or even interested enough to keep up after any type of prey? I know she is not the most Typey Dogue out there but she is special to me and my family, we love her and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. Danny
