if i am right there was a couple of types of alaunte of old,as i see people are going in different directions with breeding today as they did many many years ago,i.e, running type and holding type,if they are breeding to type(a running/holding mastiff) surely they are alaunte types.as for the PURE comments,lets face it thats whats fooked most TYPES of our dogs, ,have any off you knockers seen these types work?as i believe thats all that really matters at the end of the day .i like the runnning type mastiffs personally.keep the pictures coming fellas,
