Also forgotten to add theres a lad in huddersfield if the spellings correct who has a line and breeds bull/ridgeback/greyhounds this is where the bitch im talking about came from!

[Guest Countryboyo]

Try and get some up later if ive got any at home,im not on my computer at mo so i cant check to see if i have any!

 

Also someone siad just use what works ie the bull x ive got a bull x,if you dont try new breeds and crosses,some people may never find there perfect cross!

 

 

Dont see the problem with trying something different. Some lads here are realy funny the way there so deffencive of their breed. A funny bunch

They might have the Drive but are they Game enough to do the job over and over again?

Maybe but werent they bred for tougher game than we have. Lions etc? Idspose this would be long gone out of them by now but i would love to see 1/4 ridge 3/4 grey in action to see how it would do but id spose the lurcher breeds we have at the moment are there for a reason

I totally agree.. The fact in which they where bred for large game must mean somthing, This could be an interesting dog in my mind... I think that after generations they could make an awsome dog..

ridgebacks didnt hunt lions in the same sense as lurchers hunt. they tracked the lions and surrouded them baying at them until the hunter could get close enough to make the shot. riflrs in thoes days had poor accuarcy and slow loading times. the ridgebacks never actually attacked the lions, since then theyve been used as very efficient guard dogs and in australia used on wild boar to good use. i wonder how healthy they are?

They would still want to have ball$ to bay a lion. Im sure they wouldnt bay the animals over here. They would retrieve

I like to think that the idea of somthing new is interesting, and what did the pit bull hunt then if it comes down to this, because in my opion the tosa and dago were also if not better fighting machines.. i just think its interesting to find out because theres so many possible crosses and remember he dares rodders.. Its just the person whos got time and a it could be a lifetime.. but id love to try something...

well said. the pit was bred for fighting the ridge was bred for hunting. The ridge is a faster animal . The pit has stronger jaws, as for prey drive I dont know. Agility I know the pit is agile but so is the ridge- It would want to be to bay lions. But one things for sure the pit cross will end up with more war trophies (wounds) And this along with their big ferocious looking heads suits some.

i actually doubt that a pit has a more powerfull bite than a ridgeback. a pits bitting power is greatly misunderstood a pits head shape is wide which makes it ideal as a sort of shield when fighting, but its the depth of the head and the amount of leverage that can be used in a bite which makes the power. a gsd bites harder than a pit and so do most mastiffs. ridgebacks have very large powerful heads aswel. im not saying that pits dont have a hard bite cos they do i think its just that they WANT to bite more than most other breed of dog as opposed to them having the most powerful bite,

Not sure about that statement mate...?

To be fair i used to keep two staffies and a gsd the gsd used crack bones open in two for the staffies they could not achieve this.. So maybe this could be correct has anyone kept dagos as through research are supposed to be more superior ... Correct me if im wrong.. But if anyones got an apt going id be be a happy man....

I've had RRs for over 20 years - currently have 5, they are generally a very healthy breed

 

Originally they were developed to hunt game and to protect the homesteads. They were meant to hold lions at bay - a RR that actually attacked a lion would be a dead RR. They should be agile (wouldn't be able to get out of the way of a lion otherwise!) and capable of great endurance and a fair amount of speed.
