fitchet 788 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Tubba yours looks as though it's taken more to the sal/grey side. If they aren't given enough stimulation then they are hardwork. Im talking about pure mals here not x's. They are not your typical everyday dog, they have endless stamina and are very atheletic and exceptional gaurd dogs but for alot of people they are too much 'dog' to handle. A friend of mine owns a mal dog and if he was in different hands he would probably have been destroyed now. Before the ban came in this dog came out lamping really regular and his favoured qaurry was fox, his best night was a total of 5. When he got bit a switch was flipped and that was it. He was also bloody excellent at finding deer, just by using his nose but could only catch them by the deer tiring, he could keep up with them for ages just didn't have the final gear to pull them. But when he wasn't working he could be a nightmare, he was very untrustworthy around other dogs, especially males, he would fight even if the dog just looked at him wrong, so taking him out just casually was abit of a chore and he never tired out, 10 miles trotting and running behind the car took just the edge off him but he would still be up for more. Now he's older he has chilled down alot and he has had the 'snip' which has calmed him down even more so. But each to their own, i suppose it depends what lines the mal comes from, be that working or show/pet. i think if they are reared and trained right you dont get any of the agressiveness you mentioned. i was doing some bitework with a very strong mali recently and when the dog hit me it more powerfull than most GSD ive seen. theres a a very powerfull dog that i know wich idlove to put to a greyhound bitch. has any body used this cross for personal protection ?

tubba 38 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Imho i think dogs do what you ask of them. Any dog can be aggressive from a collie to a bull. Dogs are loyal animals that respect responsible owners. All dogs are dangerous in the wrong hands. 1 Quote Link to post

All dogs are dangerous in the wrong hands. true mate, most lurchers are good temps, because the base line what ever the breed(bull,collie,mal,gsd, etc ....) as been diluted down with running (greyhound,whippet etc ...) and all running dogs have brill temps of most beed of dogs Quote Link to post
