Your dog is a hunting animal. The dane and mastiff are old as hell hunting breeds that were bred to take down large game or at least corner it and deal with it's terrified rushes as hunters came up to murder it. Your dog would be a godsend to people hunting feral hogs in TX bogs that wouldn't mind teaching it how to hunt. You don't want it to do that and that's fine. Teach your dog to have an off button. Show us some videos of how your dog gets wild and we can probably give you some better ideas. You say there's roos everywhere- show us that. My psychotic bitch has the beginnings of an off button after these many trillions of years trying and god drat, if that lunatic can cope with an off button any dog can. But without seeing exactly how your dog reacts my instinct is to tell you to go deal with a local trainer who understands dogs that have an innate instinct to hunt and kill poo poo, not some moron who'll go "oh treats r the way and love ur puppy until it works". He's a good dog that can't do what his instincts are telling him to. You're going to have to teach him that listening to his instincts blindly aren't the best idea. There are a great many lessons he'll be learning and not all of them will be comfortable or happy ones and some of them will hurt his feelings, but if you don't want him to go tear apart sheep because haha holy poo poo look at that prey animal OH MY GOD IT'S RUNNING I GOTTA GO KILL THAT BYE, it's pretty necessary. Or just keep him on a leash when he's not in a fenced area.

I read a book once, it was about a slow puppy and the spine was shiny and metallic like my pokemon cards. I bet that puppy didn't chase other animals.

What kind of mastiff is it? Because that's sincerely important.

Superconsndar posted:I think he's writing you off too as a "Farmhand and hick" because you're talking about hunting with dogs in rural areas. *flutters fan* tut, I'm blushing. Giant breeds are where my passion lies with dogs. So please. Tell me about your mastiff. I sincerely want to know what you're keeping, foxstrate dude. Tell me his lines, tell me what he does, tell me what you do for mitigation. There's nothing wrong with a soft mastiff. There's nothing wrong with a hunt bred or protection bred or whatever mastiff. They've been used for a lot of poo poo and while I lean toward more utility based animals (the danes are far too old to do much, though), I know they're not for everyone. But I'd sincerely like to know about your mastiff and what you do to manage him. I kept my socoipathic bitch dane in Japan which basically meant "haha oh god she's going to kill something soft and fluffy" every second she left the house and man somehow I managed for that not to happen. Though I am far and by and well aware that it's entire possible that had I hosed up, there'd have been a line of dead fluffy little dogs because they run at just the right fluffy little rate for her eyes to glaze over.

SneakyFrog posted:Hey dont start shittalking suburban/rural rescue pits. They are like loveable and poo poo. I just dont want someone making a murderdog more murdery is all. 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:dude you should probably look up what game bred means 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. SneakyFrog posted:Hey dont start shittalking suburban/rural rescue pits.

Tamarillo posted:Excuse me, as you are clearly just a beer-swilling bearded ruffian in a shower cap with in fact no dog in your avatar I do not know why you feel you are well placed to comment on this topic. You should listen to me on this because I have no avatar and therefore have no earthly body so I am probably your conscience speaking. I'm just an eyeball. E: WRONG THREAD- apparently I'm a pegasus with hosed up eyeballs. I can deal with that.
