She developed a severe colitis. At the time there was no cure. I put a lot of care and training into her, so wasn't prepared for the vet's recommendation to have her pts, at about 5 months. Anyway, a mate of mine took her off me, a while later, to guard his allotment and a few kennels. One of his lurchers, collie/grey xwhip/grey mated with her, and he kept a bitch pup from that litter, and lamped her with a fair amount of success. A couple of years later, he bred her with the sires litter brother. She had eight pups. I don't know about all of the pups, but the few we kept in touch with were extremely useful dogs. 4 Quote Link to post

True John, he as aged, well he is 11, but as you know we had many a good night with him, remember that one night he got that fox in field, and all the cattle were chasing him, he jumped the fookin fence with fox in his mouth.there was no way was living his fox threre he must thought fook cattle lol, he was full on after his quarry wasn't he. Remember that night we bought lad out with us, he wanted few tips on lamping. I said hold Buck, and I get over the fence , I started to climb over, when fookin Buck jumped up, and nearly dragged the lad over the fence, I had pull Buck back, the lad went near 6ft in air haha, he was strong bugger Buck was lol.

Munjack. What I got went in me freezer, it was great to somthing, more so if I had travled 6 hours round trip, and come back happy. As long as he caught something That's all that mater to me, not how many he caught. But where he really came into his own. Was going in cover day /night, he smash through any thick cover to get his quarry, he had few munjack in woods, that takes good dog to do that, his nose was brill finding them, I think got most pleasure, seeing him do that, coming out either dead munjack, or a fox, feck knows how did it, my collie x grey Bryn, would never do it, he watch him, and wait if there was bolt from cover, day or night, for big dog doing it was brill to see deff. They make great mooching dogs as well, a lamping dog. 100% I agree quality over quantity. Was just trying to gauge whether you had done a lot of deer with him or just a few because it would be interesting to hear how a GSD cross fared if it was getting ran on deer regularly compared to some of the more popular crosses Edited November 4, 2023 by Deerhunter1 1 Quote Link to post
dodger 2,751 Posted November 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Alsations were used for a multitude of different purposes wasn't they such as the police and in the forces the good athletic ones I mean not the show stuff that damaged the hips etc. They was a originally a herding dog? What was there stamina like I'm not comparing to the collie but it must still have some engine n drive the old alsation? 1 Quote Link to post

The old man did his National service in the Royal Veterinary Core and was posted out to the middle East and said the Alsations they had that they took from Melton Mowbray soon adapted to the heat. 2 Quote Link to post

The dam was from Eastern European bred stuff, she go out in the day with the lads terriers and lurcher, a fit healthy bitch , nice straight back etc, good guard dog, but not over the top, a nice nature, and Razzmatazz, was big 28 in distance greyhound from Max stuff on here, he deff got good dogs in him. And regards the dam as the base blood =gsd, I think it put that bit more fire into to the litter, the dam 24 in, and razz 28in, we new the pups make 26 - 28in, Buck 28in, he deff was full on to his quarry, but like said, when not hunting, was very docile with people and dogs, great temp, prob not get a temp like him again. I never had dog like him in temp, they either nice temp, but not kill a fox, or bigger things, or do quarry, but bit sharp with people or dogs, so he got it spot on, best temp really in me 37 years lamping these buggers lol What did the bitches in Bucks litter turn out like mate its a cross i might be tempted at trying just for mooching about local and having a dog with a guarding instinct due to crime being on the increase were i live. 1 Quote Link to post
