American Leopard Hound x French Mastiff

[Clayton Grace]

Hi All

Here are a few pictures of my American Leopard Hound x French Mastiff( Dogue de Bordeaux ) pup. His mom is a UKC register American Leopard Hound and his father is a UKC register French Mastiff ( Dogue de Bordeaux ). I am thinking of trying to make a hunting dog out of him.

That's a beautiful pup. May be a good hog dog. How does a Mastif's jaw compare to a pit bull's?

My uncle had some huge dogs that were probably a pit bull and hound mix (maybe something else as well) that he used for catching hogs in the Florida panhandle. My cousins would ride the biggest dog like a horse.

What are you gonna hunt with him?

I plan to hog hunt with his offspring. For catch dogs I will cross Bruno with a pitt bull. For bay dogs I will cross him with a Catahoula Leopard Hound.

both the mastif is a big dog which don't usually do well or have a long life expetancy around wild hogs. pick you a good line of cur or hound to bay and stay with a short stout bulldog for catch. i've been bear and hog hunting for the better part of 15 years. and hate to see someone go into it misguided and end up loseing a dog unessarly because dogs are a big investment. it takes more than a lot of people think to raise and train a dog

My experince with crossing a catahoula with either a bulldog or mastiff dosen't seem to work out very well. Mainly with the owners/breeders not understanding of the catahoula breed. I'm not saying that anyone is stupid or ignorant, but a catahoula isn't for everyone. I have been breeding catahouola's for 20 years and I'm still learning from them. An older gentleman once told me "choose wisely and be fully informed on your decisions".

Does he still post on here ? Would really like to see the mastiff used in that cross .

I have a catahoula mountain cur cross and I think she's smarter than me. That might or might not be saying much
