If so I doubt the bulldog (apbt) would have qualified as they aren't silent in the work as a general rule. Quote Link to post

Pig hunting comes naturally to most dogs,even my whippets have to be held back if pigs are about for their own safety as they have grabbed pigs before and got dragged through scrub.The same dogs pretend they don't see feral cats when out ferreting,lol. 1 Quote Link to post
