robo-christ 40 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 what are the advantages of an alaunt as opposed to a bull/grey? i refuse to believe they're as tenacious i can't see many being as fast or much stronger. could be wrong of course. 1 Quote Link to post
staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Good dogs are good dogs no matter what breed but I think percentage wise bull x would be better bet Quote Link to post

langouroux 14 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 its about what sort of dog you like mate, i have an alaunt and i prefer the look of them, not everyone wants the same thing. alos a lot of heavier breeds / alaunts are more capable than people think they are.

You about sum it up there saying ye prefer 'the look' of them. They wont catch game in any numbers. Quote Link to post

robo-christ 40 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 should probably of put their attempt to recreate. Quote Link to post
robo-christ 40 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 i actually would be tempted to have a racy one in the future if i thought it could double up as a decent guard dog. Quote Link to post
langouroux 14 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 it depends on your definition of the aluant gentile really. as the alano espanol is still alive and very much kicking...or should that be bititng! they are not a cross breed or a re-creation! This dog hasn'tchanged for hundred of years and there is only a a handfull left in the world that is known about. see below: http://www.ambasorejas.com/ this is "potstillgold" website from THL Quote Link to post
Guest Anubis Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The genetics are there to breed backwards...The alaunt is a type of dog not a breed. Come on lads if your realy interested do some research its all there. Alaunt is an old name used for mastiff. Quote Link to post
