langouroux 14 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 TOPPER - i don't really think we can talk "facts" here as the "real" alaunts don't exist today from the original lines - they are modern takes on what an alaunt once was - if you see the old drawings of alaunt they don't really look like todays dogs! not trying to start a ruck but but here isa few i found on google: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://bull-and-terrier.de/alaunt.jpg&imgrefurl=http://bull-and-terrier.de/bullen.htm&h=190&w=296&sz=12&tbnid=XHkgkkPz9I7KlM:&tbnh=74&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dalaunt&hl=en&usg=__ubGpY7K-BIqFGfaPX4qIlZesKig=&ei=LmXqS6nwGomeOIXUiZYL&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=2&ct=image&ved=0CB4Q9QEwAQ http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://bttbab.com/grpyr.jpg&imgrefurl=http://bttbab.com/Alaunt%2520images.htm&usg=__Adv5N16GlRwT5gUuFsEQjgrGZaM=&h=706&w=802&sz=163&hl=en&start=5&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=HINxKfAfW7XHAM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=143&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dalaunt%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1R2GGLT_enGB342%26tbs%3Disch:1 like i said previously i think the only dog that has been unchange since those times is the ALano espanol - i spent 3 years researching the Alano Espanol speaking to breeders all over the world and i think this is the only true alaunt left as it is has been unchaged for centuries.

langouroux 14 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 lietome - your right mate it is a type, but there are still rustic breeds which resemble the orginal style alaunts better than the modern iterpretaion of them. whether they look more athletic or not is purely down to is cross breeding I'm not knocking the modren version at all - in fact they are probably better / healthier etc ...and i have a modern alaunt! so i defo not knocking them! luchermania - a good point, well made! haha they do look a bit funny! whin - agreed mate these dogs are awesome and unfortunately mainly wasted in this country .....maybe we should all move to the outback australia or texas for some real hogging! here is a clip of alano working a decetn size wild boar - you need to be a member of you tibe to view it though due to the graphic nature of the video: http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3DEjCrhuxK6n4 Quote Link to post
