lietome 138 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I had a boxer/pitbull cross that, from what I've seen here, could pass as an alaunt. Yes he was a good pigging dog and yes, he could dispatch an Australian fox or a dibgo, but he didn't have the speed to knock a rabbit down unless he caught one out of its warren. There is no way it could have taken a fallow or red or sambar. For english game I can't see the point of having an alaunt type. But for pigs???? Hell yes. i think most dogs catch outside a warren the alaunt is a bit big to use as ferret Quote Link to post

langouroux 14 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 linford looks like a sreal stunner! with regards to ferreting - I use my alaunt when i'm netting, he marks the holes, and obviously always gets to the net before we can to make sure the rabbit doesn't escape. he has a god nose on him!

langouroux 14 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 there has always been 2 types of alaunt...the running quicker type and the thicer sets dogs that will run but are best at holding. although bull lurchers are a different kettle of fish IMO Quote Link to post
