She looks like some of the less exaggerated American Bullys.

How much influence is a huge influence? I bet Christians, athiests and Muslims have a huge influence in the US and UK, who knows maybe even devil worshippers do as well. I have a theory that aliens from the planet Zog are secretly formenting unrest in the Middle East as who else would be the most likely to gain once the Sunnis and Shiites start annihilating each other. I have no evidence of this but it must be true because ISIS is the same name as the aliens leader...

Skimmed the last few pages of this and I don't buy the idea that Jews are controlling the world unless you can back it up with something conclusive. It just sounds like another conspiracy theory.

I don't think they normally do any hard sparring in Krav Maga (as many of the techniques would be lethal), which would probably be it's main weakness when compared with other martial arts like boxing, Muay Thai, Jujutsu etc.
-
I stick to running on grass as it doesn't do me or the dog's joints any good road running. I think I'm getting too old and heavy.

I think one of the problems with the English Bull Terriers that were being trained for protection work in Germany (Rudolf Severin's?) was that they were very hard to out.

You do get some damn ugly pitbulls, but it's hard to say there aren't some lookers, like Jeep and Chinaman:

From what I know of an Irish staff they're staffords that can trace their pedigrees back to the working lines in Ireland in the 70's. The good dogs that have been bred off them will have been bred for their working qualities rather than for money. The Irish got rid of them when pitbulls arrived.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-26819160 This doesn't look good: "They would also have the power to access land and premises, conduct searches and seize any evidence which is found."

Red Star Kennel used to have some good Presa's that were titled in protection sports. It would be bloody expensive importing them from America though.
-
Was it a Black Hereford or Shorthorn?

It's the perfect cover, who would think a hunter would drive around in a hippy mobile.
-
I suppose it's like asking how many good working dogs are out there compared with pet/show/scatterbred dogs. By the nature of the type of work good staffords do, the owners will probably keep them out of public view.

I'll let them walk my dog for nothing.

How Do You Keep Your Dog Fit In This Heat ?
C556 replied to Kemperz21's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
When you say pulling do you mean pulling weights or springpole? ie. pulling forwards or backwards? I attach a 5m sling to his harness and put it round my shoulders or hips. Then I let him pull me as hard as he likes round country roads and trails for a couple of hours. -
How Do You Keep Your Dog Fit In This Heat ?

0330 run on the bike when it's nice and cool, doing a mixture of sprints, medium and long distance running covering three mornings each week. Afternoons it's just an easy stroll or some pulling. -
The smell of cut hay.

I think they're worried they'll encourage British islamic fighers to start planting bombs when they come back to Britain.

I've got a dog agressive dog, it just means he stays on the lead when he's outside and I make a point of staying well clear of other dogs. Luckily other owners tend to do the same if they see me in the distance.
-
See that's what I don't like about it, once a dog is defeated it should be picked up and that's it. But I've no experience in the pit world so it's just my own opinion. From what I've read they're normally matched under Cajun rules: http://www.sporting-dog.com/select-pages/cajunrules.html As soon as one of the dogs wants to stop then the match ends.
-
I doubt the real dog men would be telling any stories to the press.
-
I don't think it's as bad as it's made out to be. Bear in mind most of the information about it you see in the media will come from organisations like the RSPCA who have their own agenda. Like most things there'll be good dog men who treat their dogs well and bad dog men who treat them like shit.
-
If you got rid of all the 'hard' looking dogs the idiots would end up with golden retrievers, probably abused and badly bred into being man aggressive. I think anyone who wants a dog should pass a test showing a basic knowledge of dog psychology and training. At least that would prevent a lot of new owners ending up with a dogs that are out of control.
-
They sound like they'd be too heavy and slow, what would be the benefit of a Presa mix? As far as I know the Presa's over here are mainly bred for their looks rather than working abilities.

Wellies and ex army goretex (preferably olive rather than camo) over my clothes. If it's dry maybe a boiler suit instead of the goretex. That means you can quickly take the goretex or overalls off when you get back to the car and dump them in a black bag. Keeps the car clean and saves faffing about.
