I am looking for a female American Bulldog that carries heavy old school Hines pedigree.

Pup or gyp….

Brit Garcia, are you still breeding?

Pm me folk’s Breeding primarily this blood.

Man, I’m just looking at some of the news from last 24hours on YouTube which is how I get news because I don’t own a tv.  I’m seeing what has happened and the stories are heartbreaking. My heart goes out to the families impacted and still searching. What a tragedy!

Thanks WOW

If anyone has a direct line to him let him know I’m reaching out. It’s OB from back in the day

Is Gary fuller still on here?

Just reaching out…

Anyone know or better yet Gary if you still check in please pm me.

I’m up Angola rd in rural west feliciana parish, tunica hills area. I’ll be trapped in on the property couple more days. But that’s to be expected when these deeply wooded steep hills freeze driveway over. We got probably 5”

I’m imagining a dog like bullyson is the type you are referring to?

For all I know only from pics….

All the while remaining string and thickly muscled when viewed from front not narrower like a coursing dog. Just spitballing hahahaha

I’m working pitbull dogs I always took it to be a reference of the legnth of back making the dog slightly more of a rectangle than a square when looked at front the side?

With a little reflection, maybe you are referring to a more narrow v-chest when viewed from the front?

It would also make sense sense lungs are just bags that expand and contract, which would expand and deflate the chest width extremely when looking from a front view?

Like I say, just learning here…

WoW, please explain what you mean by v-chested in conformational terms, when looking at a dog.

Are we judging that when looking at a dog from the head in front view or from the side view of the chest depth and shape?

I understand the barrel chested dog, which you see from the head on front view quite easily but is not seen from the side view aspect.

Most bulldogs are judged that the chest depth, conformationally, should be at the level of the front elbows, which can be seen from both the side and front view.

But, and I may be wrong, but inthe bulldog type breeds, conformation judges like them to fit in a an imaginary square box when judged from the side view. Meaning as tall at the shoulders as they are long when viewed from the side with a proportional neck length.

The lungs run parallel to the spine anatomically so the longer the back the more stretched out physically the the chest cavity and the more room anatomically for deeper lungs.

Just making sure we are on the same page?

Or are you referring to a v-chest when viewed from the side, with a huge v and depth of the chest when looking at say coursing breeds like greyhounds  or wolfhounds , whippets etc, which have a comparatively narrow chest than bulldogs when viewed from the from view.

I think we are talkin the same thing. But I’m try to drill down and learn here…

Kinda like firing a smart bomb vs a howitzer

I concur with you Thomas.
I like longer necked dogs, I think that goes along with being a longer backed dog as well…
I think both add up to more mobility and a longer backed dog has more ‘spring’ in their movements and use that to get more ‘punch’ and ‘reach’ on the fly if they need to rapidly change direction.
I have have shorter necked and backed dogs that had plenty of muscle to spare but while they look very impressive and contain a lot of straight line power, sort of like a cannonball. They lack needed maneuverability. Most were more one out dogs that didn’t recover as well. A longer back goes along with bigger lung capacity imo.

Pups look good Thomas. Sure sounds like they have the smarts as well. I’m sure you and deputy dawg will get some workers out of em.

+++ just rambling, but I don’t do, nor ever will, Facebook instagram twitter or any of that. I like the board format where there is just the enthusiasts that really do and live the stuff the stuff they do with the dogs.

Pretty sure Mitch Allison had a board and underdog that used to post here had one and can’t remember all that have come and gone….miss them all. Last I checked bandog banter is still around

My profile says I registered in 2015. I did the Parker cur board before that and that was after the truegrit bulldog board, bandog banter and various other boards since 2004

I dunno, some here, came in before American hogger, I’m supposing that’s that cheesy tv show in seen a couple of times somewhere or heard about here and there but ain’t had a tv in 13yrs so never watched.

Maybe some folks life changed or git more complicated, maybe their reasons or desires for hunting just dryed up. Maybe conflicts got in the way or maybe they just aged out.

I dunno, but that doesn’t make em less of a dog man than the next.

I still check in every day in the morning, when I get home from work and before bed. I still read every post.
 
I still enjoy it and live vicariously thru y’all doing it. I know the fun and appreciate those still having the fun.

Y’all keep posting….just wish I could contribute, but alas, I have nothing to contribute. Bit i will follow, and it’s appreciated

Y’all I live by Angola in west feliciana parish and nowhere near the numbers there were in previous years.

I don’t hunt with dogs anymore but have traps on property I live on.

I’m probably part of the problem. Every property around here has traps and kills every hog.

Between trapping and night vision hunters around here I believe that’s in part due to the decline. My old hunting partners went to night vision and some my work buddies as well. They put up numbers I would have only dreamed about back in the years I hunted dogs.

Hogs just run out of tricks between traps and thermal.

That’s just my two cents.

I had sounder come in last year and caught all but a couple in a figure six trap.

That just on these 80 acres. All the surrounding properties have traps too. The takin it too the hogs for sure

Possible ich…
