Not joking but the hillbillies could have started with aggressive ancestors and bees are aggressive by nature anyway. Different if you are line breeding hunting dogs, which are generally not human aggressive but I get what you're saying. The mice turned out good for snake food breeders.
-
What I've seen, close inbreeding makes for aggression in some creatures. My old boss kept bees and he had to replace the queens every so often or he couldn't get near the hives. Also some places I've lived in remote, small towns, the people, mostly all related are always fighting and aggressive to each other.

I've heard of big roos drowning multiple dogs like that in deeper water cobber.
-
Do you reckon the only way to find that out is to do a brother sister mating? because the negative traits can be hidden well.
-
I always thought it lowered fertility but those only brother to sister lab mice have huge litters if I remember right.
-
You'd need to own a lot of dogs or have them out on breeding terms to do that?
-
Probably true but you can end up with lower fertility and less robust animals through too much close breeding unless you ruthlessly cull and I don't like snuffing out pups. Eventually you have to outcross to a different family anyway so all the hard work seems in vain to me.
-
Doesn't matter how stock proofed your dogs are if you aren't there with them.
-
They do it to see what underlying genetic problems exist in their dogs and to cement a line. I wouldn't do it on purpose but I've only bred the odd litter for myself and rather use dogs that were good workers even if they are totally unrelated. Not worth the chance of having underlying problems come out later on. They have a strain of lab mice they only breed brother to sister and are never sick but it's probably hundreds of generations and culling to get to that stage.

Ridgy didge old chap.

I hated tobacco and didn't start smoking until in my 20's. For me I was sick when I didn't smoke. My parents and grandparents smoked and at 61 now I'm still pretty fit and thin. I do wish I never started.
-
Still smoking. I gave up for 3 years and ended up a fat, bloated pig and constant gut issues despite not eating more. 50g of Winfield Blue tobacco over here is 140 Oz dollars or 72 English pounds, it's an expensive way to die over here, lol.

A neighbor got a male pitbull pup off me years ago and it later got over the fence and over the bitch sibling I had kept. There was some truly outstanding pups, a couple of really small pups and one really weird looking one I was going to pts. My mate took him and he was a great dog, living until 15. The whole litter were very aggressive with each other though and had to be separated at 5 weeks because they were trying to kill each other.
-
I'm the same Ray, a bit too old for bulldogs now as much as I like them, lol.
-
If you have a bull breed dog and you want it to protect you just treat it with kindness and care, they protect because they love you. You start sooling it onto people and making it aggressive you will end up with a liability and a virtual monster that will put you in jail and the dog destroyed, nothing good will come out of it. This is for the young blokes or ladies starting off.
-
Well those people need to be in a loony bin, nothing wrong with the dogs.
-
We all know most people shouldn't own potentially dangerous breeds, they just don't have the experience with them or are fruitloop tweekers that shouldn't own any animals. While people own dogs there is always going to be fatalities and it's impossible to police who owns what. Giving the gov powers to take our dogs from us is a slippery slope and where does it stop. They want us all unarmed sheep, fck that.
-
You didn't answer my question mC misery guts. How is crossing dogs going to ruin the original lines?
-
I think, lol.
-
That would be bad.
-
But you're not trying to improve a bulldog line, you're breeding dogs for your own purpose. How is that going to ruin the original breed?
-
Yeah they need an outlet. I only used those pit crosses occasionally for hunting, they were mainly guards but they had acreage to exercise on, probably why they were stable. My daughter's dog is a family dog only and he puts everything into guarding them. She can handle him because she grew up with pigdogs and bulldogs but he would kill anyone threatening them so not for the inexperienced owner.
-
If they're anything like our pollies over here the cat dying would be the last living thing you'd want dead there. R.I.P Larry

I agree that the best companion dogs for most families are little pan lickers, they still let you know if intruders are around and being a companion dog is probably the most important job for a dog anyway.
