As with most crosses it really depends on how they’re thrown - with some being more “bull” or “sighthound” forward than others. IME - the phenotypical expression is a pretty good indicator as to how they navigate the world. It’s why I see some more bull forward pups starting “earlier” than some of the more sighthound oriented ones. Just comes down to handler IQ. a few pics of the littermates between 9-10mo showing variation in type. I’d say as a whole - this litter should average 27” but wouldn’t be surprised if that fawn male with the black collar at the bottom gets a bit taller.

Essentially a reverse bull x. Heavy bulldog influence.

Have to know your stock and make decisions based on what they show you. Got a real good glimpse as to her mindset and intent.

Sire is about 36kg - likely to drop 2-3kg Eyeballed - Daughter likely close to the same.

Just a few action shots. Have a 4yo Apbt x Stag and his 10mo daughter who we started this week. Showing good promise. Would like for her to take one solo come 12mo Takes contact silently. Pushes into the grip. Learning the pointy end and starting to pick angles. Shes’s a big dog. Should be handy on pigs and provide strong finish on coyotes. Denning season comes to a close in June and the young dogs start to become territorial. Hope to get her on some later this summer. Winter just ended - will start dropping weight on the duo and prep them for the upcoming heat

Just the angle.

Thank you. The build certainly lends itself to heavier quarry. The Apbt strain he carries certainly popped come year 3. His type back to a pure sighthound would likely be ideal for most.

Likely different selection pressure. Chosen based purely on speed/athleticism rather than environmental soundness/strong nerve. Once it’s introduced to a line - it’s hard to remove.

Certainly appreciate the tip. Next time I head down there I’ll give it a go. I think a lot of it is insecurity/self preservation. Think his confidence would be higher if he was started on something that didn’t weigh more than he did. Changes the relationship with the quarry just starting out.

The batch that escaped and the sub -adults that were captured and removed. They’ll test a dogs mettle, and put holes in a dog quick the 100-120lbers tend to be the most dangerous - fast moving and agile - overall a very positive trip for the boy who likely suffered from under exposure, lack of work and low effort. Glad that with time he’s progressed. Def a dog who needs the fight brought to him to get him hooked

Took him to tx, and introduced him to some hogs. Would have liked to have started him on some small ones - but they escaped the night before. Ended up having some sub adults between 80-130lbs. it was a rough intro. They charge dogs. A few unpleasant run ins and he got with the program. They take off running and He’ll sit hogs down. Run em down, Hit a leg and just dig in. I like the regrips. But would have preferred straight ear holds. I think he learned about the hogs business end.Tried choking him off the grips and placing him on the head - he’s just work his way to the back.
