I like the look of them,but pre-ban or abroad what do/did they do better than a bull x?

 

Not that they have to do anything better as long as the owners are happy.

I'm no expert on bull types, I've owned a full apbt a son of Scotsmans Max and I've owned two alaunt types. Ad to that I've seen countless numbers of both and crosses in other peoples hands. On what I've seen and I stress the I've seen bit, the alaunt types were easier to live with and slower to take offence, IE a growl or a yapping terrier etc. Doing the job in the field, perhaps some bull cross lines were better, but across the board, hunting, pet, companion etc (as a lot of peoples dogs are) I'd opt for an alaunt. Cue, the diehard bull guys.

I have been around running dogs long enough to know by looking that an Alaunt will not be as good at some things what a nice racy half cross bull will be

I've honestly never seen that in a bull x,would it not be easier to just get a line bred bull x from good stable workers?

 

if that's the only problem with them.

obviously a dog as strongly built cant turn as fast as a lighter dog no one said they can, I have both most of their make up is bull greyhound anyway ,most are very laid back, easy to train switch on and enter not to bad with other dogs unless pushed, I can only speak about the ones I have seen or owned atb

That link is interesting, but does anyone have anymore up to date on the evolution/breeding programme of this "type" of Alaunt?

[lietome 138]

they are moving towards this type
