He's been tested for everything that can cause lathargy but all have come back clear. It's heartbreaking cos before he was so astute and alert. Quote Link to post

downsouth 6,842 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 If it's Spanish Alanos you are talking about don't expect them to be anything better than your alapaha and maybe worse.Theres 2 Twats over here that are the main men apparently with them I know of a few people had them from them and they've been plagued with problems and the couple that I've seen in person have been rubbish.Theres nothing wrong with the alapahas if you get the right one but just like any breed do your homework and get one from someone who's working and testing and putting all the relevant health tests on their breeding stock. 2 Quote Link to post

But as bull breeds go the Alano deff one of the healthiest out there, i reckon x them to a greyhound or lurcher you get great hunting dog, and not bad guard. A out and out guard today are a boerboel , great family dog but hell of a guard dog , but same again they like all big heavy breeds have health probs, like bullmastiffs , but not as bad . but they get over bred and ruined long term you wont beat a gsd x collie or little jack 1 Quote Link to post
