Back in the early 90s a pal of mine that used to come on here travelled around the southern states visiting different AB breeders including Alan Scott who we ended up having dogs directly from.Whilst staying with Alan he would go up the mountain at the back of his house and help feed the bulldogs that were all chained to trees with a barrel to sleep in and also help feed Alans catahulas that he had in big paddocks.After a few days Alan had to pop out one evening and my pal offered to feed the dogs whilst he was gone and Alan told him yeah go and feed the bulldogs as they'll be fine now theyve

I looked over a couple of his dogs at a show and noticed that they were piss stained all the way up to their chests.I was later told by a few different people that he keeps large numbers of dogs in crates laying in their own mess in his cellar.The day of the show i was told by a close friend that he went to a party afterwards and his dogs were locked in his car till midday the next day and he then got in his car and drove the 4hrs+ home and didnt even let them out to empty out .Unfortunately from what ive seen of the alapaha scene it is going the same way as the ABs did but faster.

Ok mate?Was just wondering if youd met or got the dog from the famous necks alapahas
-
Did ypu get it from necks alpahas?
-
The merle comes from the Catahulsa Leopard dog.Along with the willingness no bite people as if you talk to any of the really old bulldog men as i have most of the old origional farm bulldogs,southern whites etc(before the names AB or alapaha even existed)were mostly farm stock dogs and were actually very soft with people.
-
All these modern Alapahas are a lot newer breed than any of the other breeds that you mentioned.The origional blood was an old type of bulldog/farm cur but there has been allsorts chucked in them in the last 30/40 years and they were sent over with mythical stories and made up pedigrees just the same as the ABs were 25years ago.What UK lines is there showing in its pedigree?
-
What bloodlines does it have in it.

Sunday night looks like its about to liven up ???

Recreating the Welsh mastiff using breeds from Germany,Spain and the USA.Makes you wonder about the intelligence of some of these c**ts that seem to think they're going to recreate the Dodo

All the time.Proper shitbag

Haha.The Emperors new clothes.Just another bandog type cross with a silly story and a big price tag same as them Serbian defence dogs.My pal who has the Dobe and the really good bandogs had a hardon for them SDDs a couple of years back with their cropped ears and mad colours and vids of them acting all mean and was sure that they must do something that we'd never seen before thats why they were 3/5k.I kept asking him "what are they gunna do that yours dont"but he was convinced they must be better coz they come from serbia.Luckily some other mug who had big ideas of making a fortune with these

Nearest thing to a bull mastiff that are still fit and healthy and have something about them are Boerboels.Thats if you want a purebreed rather than a cross.

Trouble is mate a lot of the lines that are classed as the best have actually got the worse dominance issues.i personally know of 4 that have completely out of the blue flipped out on their owners for no reason.Luckily 2 of the fellas were very experienced dog trainers/handlers that realised what was happening before itgot too out of hand and sorted things quickly another made a bit of a mess of a lad but luckily his mates had the bottle to help him.The other put my mates pregnant missus in hospital for 5months kept on morphine untill their son was born then had to endure years of reconstructi

I just find it strange that a group of lads that own single handed dogs would only ever film them working doubled up.You'd think they'd want to have them on film doing the job single handed.
-
Seen a few nice corso's but also seen some real shockers with really weak nearves.They dont tend to be rank dominant though like the presas tend to be.Being a mastino and very closely related to Neopolitans they tend to be very soft with their families and quite relaxed around strangers that they dont see as a threat.
-
He has a rich daddy too who helped set him up in his puppy peddling empire.To be fair hes owned some bloody good ABs and Boerboels over the years but he will breed,sell or deal anything he can earn a few quid with and will lie through his teeth to do it.
-
And a lot more likely to start trying to dominate your whole family.They will end up being the next banned breed f***ing unstable b*****ds
-
f***ing puppy peddler and a complete bullshit artist.

Right heres a question.If i came on here and said i went out and dug 14 foxes on the weekend but i took 4terriers and stuck 2 in every earth how many people on here would think id done something good and that i must have some pretty decent terriers.
-
Oh right.Sorry i didnt realise the wrecking Crew were profesional pest controllers doing a service for farmers.I always thought they were a bunch of lads driving about having a bit of sport.
-
All this talk of numbers.Lets for arguments sake say that the would go out with 2 dogs and dounle up on 10foxes 0r 4 dogs and run 16or 20.why not just go out and let each dog have 4 or 5 single handed runs.
-
Why would we?That was a sport that was meant to be run with 2dogs where they wernt meant to kill the hare but i dont agree with running lurchers on hares doubled up either.
-
Only ever owned 2 lurchers and neither needed doubling up on a fox.
-
Are you a professional pest controller or keeper or shepherd that needs to kill stuff in numbers?If so youll get do better with a rifle.If not then surely it should be about the quality of the sport and actually seeing how good your dog actually is.Plenty of old shit can look brave when doubled up.
-
They probably wouldnt have killed a 3rd of the amount if they ran single handed.Its mad double up aterriers and youre a c**t and rightly so but doubling up 2 60/70lb bull cfosses seems to be acceptable for a lot of people.
