You know, you do know a lot about dogs. I'll grant you that.

But other than that, you are by far the dumbest motherfucker I've ever read and - to be perfectly candid - probably more dim than anyone I've ever met, which, frankly, shouldn't surprise me seeing as your greatest confidant and intellectual equal is a guard dog.

You've actually gotten me in stitches.

By the by, is that why you have the Boston Terrier avatar? Because, even though people don't regard your intelligence highly by human standards, you're still considered pretty bright when compared to other dogs? I mean, hey, Roundheads ALMOST break top 50. That's certainly worth bragging about.

You assume FoxStrats has any idea of how gamebred pitbulls actually are like... his frame of reference is probably the regular suburban rescue pit.

I regularly feed Amy the blood of my enemies to make my murderdog more murdery.

(she's not even a murderdog she's just bred a certain way which I am not going to talk about here

)

Hey Fox I'm glad you've got an Alangu and not some loving english. They're about as "hot" as any turkish (or that area) dog and by that I mean "if you went back in time to the early 1800's and looked at most of the mastiff breeds in europe, it'd have been pretty standard". You're still not dealing with insanely high prey drive though, just an energetic animal with a lot of weight behind it. You basically have an amped up (by one or two ticks) US-bred bull mastiff, dude. Ultimately, my sheltie cross has more prey drive than your dog does and I kept her from going hog wild until we moved out into areas where it didn't matter if she and her dog life partner caught a squirrel and ripped it in half in the space of a breath because that idiot squirrel was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

PartyCrown posted:

There's actually a couple of lines of alangus that I've been told of that were bred in for dog aggression and used in fighting, so he might have some flickering idea. Maybe. It's nowhere near like the pit fighting scene that Super's educated about in that these dogs were never that deep into it nor was the culture really the same- though truth be told I only have a very weak understanding of it myself, as alangus aren't particularly populous over here in the US and I don't have a lot of leaning that way. The only turkish-area breed I'm really into is the anatolian (and it's many cousin-named same-breed buddies). That doesn't mean I'm blind about dogs over there, it just means I'm not going to get eyeballs deep in them because meh.

I think it's more about me not knowing what Super does when not piddling around on SA. forgot she dealt in gamebred.

But seeing as she's a bitch, it makes sense that you think it speaks to my knowledge of pets :flame:

I've seen people be as dumb and wrong as you before, but rarely are they this self confident and unlikeable.

Here just gonna replace the name here for you:

"Foxstrats is fascinating–the same way that it’s fascinating to watch a zoo gorilla make mounds out of its own feces. The gorilla is a noble, intelligent animal that will demean itself in captivity. Foxstrats is a less noble animal of roughly the same intelligence, whose cage is the English language. It's an amazing thing to behold."

Maybe if you change your av to a border collie he'll decide that you're his intellectual equal worthy of conversation.

E: Also, not that I'm a dog owner, but since I want to at least make sure I'm getting things straight, with (high-prey-drive?) 'driven' dogs, that behavior is something that can be controlled to an extent with patient training, but you always have to be mindful that your dog didn't magically lose that drive, they're just not immediately acting on it. So you still need to be aware of what your dog is doing at more or less all times, and take other measures to avoid disaster. Is that about it?
