HOUND PIT CROSSES

I read something like this another website. it was a guy trying to mix a dogo with a walker hound for a bear dog. just about everyone told him not to because the bully / hound mix creates a high number of man biters. and told him just to buy a fila brasileiro.

here is excactly what was said

crossing any bull or mastiff breed to bloodhound produces an unusually high percentage of aggressive manbiters. so unless you're hunting escaped cons or bringing back slavery their is nothing useful in such crosses. a number of the most aggressive & dangerous nightkeepers dogs in british history were the welsh bred dogs containing bloodhound. ultimately you'd wind up w/something like the fila brasileiro.

bulls & mastiffs & crosses of them w/ cur & hound have been used effectively for centuries. as recently as Roosevelt's time pure bulldogs ran w/ big game packs and they actually did CATCH the bears & lions and didn't have anymore significant mortality than pure scenthounds (of course there are allegations the scenthounds of old were more aggressive than today). even today bull blooded grade hounds are run on bear in the southern states. i am pretty sure modern bears & lions aren't anymore capable dog killers than their ancestors.
