Hounds of war: Let`s see `em!

I have mentioned the dog below once before. He is the paternal grandsire to my current younger male dog

Zeus at 9 months. (CWE Gus x Sarah)
Sire to Walls Chopper, grandsire to Cletus. We placed him at about 3 years old and lost touch. A huge regret!! Last I heard hed killed two dogs doing his job. He also killed our VB Chopper after he attacked Zeus in shear aggression.

My pup at 13 months. Hopefully he will be as efficient at killing as his grandsire. His Maternal grand sire had a reputation of making dog packs and burglars just go away.


The maternal grand sire was basically a mastiff in body type

I have never noticed the local ticks clustered on the feet like that in my region. The ticks in my little corner of NWFL seem to come out about mid fall or so and hang around through the winter and by the end of March are mostly gone. They are black and show up well on dogs with white fur due to the contrast. They tend to migrate towards the dog's head. But I will in the future pay more attention to the feet.

Many people are really hung up on size versus the harm that an animal can inflict on a human. I have been assured by people whose knowledge I trust that a determined 35 lb pit bull can give a man without weapons a very hard time. If there is a pack then the problem is much worse.
Many of the spanish war dogs used by the conquistadors were not huge. Think like say 65-85 lbs. When used against fleeing people, especially unarmed women and children they killed and maimed people. This is one reason that packs of aggressive dogs should not be allowed to roam. I was hearing stories not too long ago of places in Memphis TN that had loose packs of feral pit bull type dogs.

My old white english dog showing her deepest love for her master. She likes lay and hold my foot or ankle with her back legs. Does not make a lot of sense.

Two white english pups

at about 5-6 months. That's a 8-10 week old BB pup. Cocky lil bastard! lol. Their behavior here sums them both up so well.

BB means brindle bulldog which are not laid back and are often highly aggressive. Hard to find now days without pitbull mixed into them.

Progress continues lol
