@@prideofthesouthlandkennels I can speak on Labs because I've had a few They will definitely protect your family. They will do whatever you train them for. Mentioned Boarder collie because of what you have on your farm and you seem to want a smaller dog than you got ?
@jimcostantino6244 - yea I get that, border collies are great herders but they don’t live with the sheep because they’ll always want to move them. I want a Bulldog, Bulldogs have a different demeanor about them than those breeds you mentioned. I have a buddy of mine that has a Lab and it went through and killed every single one of his chickens. Dogs these days in general aren’t bred for work. They’re just bred to be bred. LGD breeders nowadays are telling buyers the dogs aren’t ready to work until 2 years old. That wasn’t the case 25 years ago. My dogs aren’t too far from what I want. We’re on verge of a breakthrough so I’m hoping this cross gives me that. If not I’ll try something else.
I think it is cool you are breeding for a dog that you want. Trying to breed your bulldogs to be like the old farm handy bulldogs is awesome. So many people are elitist on how they think dogs should be, saying you are breeding water downed bulldogs. If anything you have gotten the experience that the average Ambulldog is not what you want so you are gonna go with something that does work and has what you want. And the sbt cross venture can fail but any breeding can fail but i think it is cool you have put in the effort to come to this conclusion. Excited to see how the dogs come out down the pipe line.
Family Farm you should get a Lab or a Boarder collie
@@jimcostantino6244 - so you give me a herding dog and a bird dog. That’s what I should get to protect my farm and family?
