old boarshound

[valerio 32]

Dog's name was Pennello he was my leading dog for many years and probably the best allround dog i've owned.Unreal long range finder will bail a boar all day long if needed

What is the breeding? Is it a kind of "seguso" (?) or a mix?

I can't say you what breed is in him cos' there is none.For a long time now here in Maremma(southern tuscany)our fathers have selected this dogs only on hunting ability.they come out really different betwen one and another because we dont use linebreeding or inbreeding.We only use to mate a good dog to a good bitch and sometimes we will change the blood by using a stud from another village.it worked for centuries and it's still working.

that dog looks a spit image of a red setter

[valerio 32]

the only thing this dog has in common with a setter is the hair color.

this other dog was full brother to Pennello but not as good,he was killed by other dogs in the kennel.

there was another valerio on another forum and talking about badgering and killing porcupines with his dogs, i assumed this was him, however after reading his posts the manner in which he posts is different, so i have edited my post
