My next dog will be an American Bulldog

American bulldogs are the shit. I know there are a lot of great breeds out there but I will always have an American Bulldog with me.

Actually we are expecting their first and only litter by Christmas if you want one let me know. Of course no charge except shipping or you can pick it up.

Where is your Patrol Base?

I don't believe that's your dog, or I wouldn't say this... That is the fucking ugliest fucking...goddamn!...fuck that, that, thing is absofuckinglutely ugly! If I saw that dog on the street, I would run like Forrest Gump, when the leg braces busted off.

I was thinking about looking at some internet porn...now I don't really want to anymore, after seeing that little monster.

Sweet Jesus, that was some funny shit! Between that and being compared to Bubba's feces, this mutt has gotta take the ugliest dog award.

Ive also debated about putting pouches on the side for the nature hikes so he can hump his own water. I think I will buy an actual wilderness harness that comes with the pouches.

That'd be a good idea, man. We had a 180 pound Malamute who was able to hump 1/3 his weight for miles. A very good asset when camping . He was a good dog

Yeah its already bad enough I have to hump all of my wifes weight, the dog can hump his own water and chow.

This is Sally, my dog before Kona.

http://www.wolfpacks.com/gallery/sally.htm

She died of lymphoma in 2002. I spent most of my time in my mid to late 40's backpacking remote North American trails. Sally was my backpacking partner through 10,000 miles of trail. She's wearing a Trekker here, made by Wolf Packs out of Ashland, Oregon. She carried about 20-25 lbs and acted like it wasn't even there. She carried her own water, food, sleeping pad, canine first aid kit including splints, about 20 Clif bars, the tent stakes, and the rain fly.

The trickiest aspect to dog packs is knowing how tight to cinch them and how to even out the weight on both sides down to a few grams. It comes with practice. If the weight isn't distributed almost perfectly, the pack will ride over to the heavy side and make your dog miserable for the experience. As the dog grows used to the pack, you can start cinching it tighter for an even better ride. Other than that, as the Wolf Packs web site mentions, the other golden rule to dog pack use is to never pack anything in them that is essential to your survival in the wilderness. Sally managed to shed hers twice over five years while on wild chases of deer or elk. I found one set. The other set is still somewhere up in the Northern Alberta Rockies.

Thats pretty squared away I will have to keep that in mind.

Ranger bmf175,

Are both your dogs American Bulldogs? Your male looks like kinda like a APBT. Are they indeed the same breed?

Angry

No they are the same breed.
If you do a search on American Bulldogs you will find that there are actually two types of American Bulldogs. One is called a Scott type and the other a Johnson type.

One has more of a pit-bull look to them while the other has abit longer nose and more of a slender body. SOme of them have both features.
This may be why you will not see American bulldogs in the international dog shows because there is no ONE set standard for the breed which makes it hard to grade.

I have no idea why there are two types all I know is that the breed was damn near extinct acouple decades ago and these two yahoos (Johnson and Scott) decided they wanted to bring the American Bulldog back.
I believe Scott Lives in Dahlonega.

The female, the one with the eye patch, is from the Blue grass kennel. And they are considered the biggest American Bulldog breeders around.
The male is from a small breeder in South Georgia.

I guess I have a 'Johnson' then and didn't know it. On the right side of the pic.

Those are some good looking bulldogs. Some people have trouble telling american bulldogs from APBT I can tell a difference having had both. Im used to people being scared of my male thinking that he is a APBT, but the male is the most gentle, the female would actually fuck some people up if I let her.

I dont care much for english bulldogs as I dont think they are good for anything cant run, cant really do anything physical for more than 15 minutes.
I think all the Mastifs are awesome.

Irish Wolf Hound... Huge and scary fuckers

Irish Wolfhound. One of the best damn dogs. Period. I owned one, and will have another once I get enough acreage to support another. Tallest of all dogs. Not the heaviest like a Mastiff or St. Bernard, but the tallest. Sort of like a greyhound on steroids. Not scary at all, really. One of the most doscile and even-tempered of all dog breeds. Bred for hunting Timber Wolves. Only dog on the planet known to have successfully downed black/brown/Grizzly bears as well.

I should correct my previous by stating... Scary looking when you've never seen one... but yes they are very friendly.

Now there's a fight I'd like to see. I saw a wild pack of timber wolves for the first time in 2000 on Lesser Slave Lake in Northern Alberta. I was viewing them through a 10X40 binocular about a mile away. The alpha male had to weigh at least 175 lbs. There were about 11 in this pack. These dogs were huge. There are photos on the web, if you care to hunt for them, of domestic dog run-ins with wolves in Montana and Idaho, that were reintroduced from Northern Alberta. The photos aren't pretty. Domestic dogs always come in second.
