Wolfhound/Greyhound x Pitbull Terrier. (I'm in Canada; dont kill me)

[bird 9,973]

I agree there are going to be pretty much no working wolfhounds, but then the aussies use them and danes (what the f**k?) to make some pretty tough pig dogs.

 

thats just it Ja , the Oz sites call them I/W.H , but really they got to have somthing else in there, because it dont matter what country your in the I/W/H of to day (pure) is just a show dog. And no agilty, get bloat, to big, and dont live very long . What they call I/W/H . Are really just a type of dog = lurcher .

I would be worried for the smaller pitbull bitch passing those huge wolf/grey pups personally.

 

Nature dont work like that.

I think what we have here is a naive person, who got a rescue dog from a pound or something, briefly read up about lurchers on wikipedia, then talked to a few local hunters about hunting in the locality, then thinks the rescue dog would somehow be a good hunter. They havent done anything in the field, because if they had, they would know their delusional ideas and beliefs were unrealistic. And now they have somehow got the delusional notion - "my dog needs to kill big game, so I think I will breed it to a pitbull".

 

My advice to you MidnightSun, is to get off the computer, and take your dog out into the field this winter, and see what happens. Let your dog see all this big game which you really need to kill, or be defended from ( ). I hope you will be carrying a gun! You'll need it.

 

We have a winner!

I always like the way that you get a load of folks that have never even seen a cougar telling a bloke that lives in a country over run with them, where they are regularly hunted with dogs, that it is impossible that a dog killed one.

 

 

blah blah blah IMO . . . . . . well your opinion ain't worth shit buddy!

 

Sums up my feelings on the people in this thread.

Cougars get upto 240lbs out here, for the idiots who assume out of their own ass I watched the dogs hunt a 'prime condition' mountain lion. The one I saw the two dogs (combined weight of round 265lbs) kill was 200 only..that about the size of a british colombian cougar - which are also hunted by dogs over there - but the ones here get upto 245, from what I have heard killed.

No one has answered my question here..none of the keyboard experts have let me know how many cougars are in the UK, if you are allowed to hunt them, if youve ever travelled to hunt big game or what

I want to know if the people seemingly taking a piss are legitimate or not? You 'lads' speaking from experience or some bbc planet earth/discovery channel/animal planet series sensationalizing and over-rating the strength of a mountain puma.. a cougars strength is not in fighting, it is in stealth and surprise. Come watch them move, how they slink down and hug the ground as they trot - more gracefull than strong..

 

Btw for the one guy who was wondering.. my dogs are not for hunting wolverines, but protection against them - they are bold enough to charge a human, not to mention a grizzly.\

I am not brave enough to hunt a wolverine with my dogs, its suicidal - they are very very confident and tenacious - like natures bull terrier.

 

 

The yukon is overrun with cougars.

You dont have to tree one to kill it.. We use flat-head arrows, used round the ribs to injure the cougar, but it is by all means living when the dogs go in albeit not 100% - why the f**k would we risk the dogs lives? Would you send your dogs in on an un-injured male cougar in the yukon? If so you need to read a hunting book or two and reconsider ownership of your dogs . And in the case of the dogs in

the thread, the bloodhound, who was 150lbs, and this dog who is round 115 depending on the day, had no problem with the small(er) cougar.

 

For the fella who asked me how much I use my mongol bow - everyday either in my range on the acreage or out in the woods.. I love it. Its a composite, cost me an arm and a leg, but I love how it connects me with thousands of years of history with the use of sinew, caribou horn, and yew.

 

That being said..if some of you cross the pond experts on arctic tundra hunting dont believe two hunting dogs (none of which I claimed to be mine..) with over a year of experience and great training could take one cougar which hasnt finished growing - in the plains without a tree in sight...in the dead of canadian summer - I invite you to come out here. If you are really interested in hunting big game, curious about my story and would like to be humbled by some of the largest game in the world - pm me and I would be more than happy to help you out with a trip down to the yukon.

It happens all the time. Pups are too big, need C sections.

Especially with bull breeds, heads bred too large leave a bitch struggling.

Natures way would be just a couple of pups.
