Now THAT'S something I wasn't expecting. Have seen it sparingly. It IS a hunting dog, despite the dumb fire truck reputation. It is the Croatian answer to the Weimaraner of Germany, or the Hungarian Vizsla. Even the Drahthaar and GSP are kind of along the same lines. These are all surprisingly versatile hunting dogs. Still those pics of the dalmatian are very cool to see. |

That was frankly kind of a very bad performance by the CC. In the initial chase it is barking at the pig and letting it get away, eventually we catch up to the pig captured but it is being lugged by some white dog and the CC is still barking and letting go even while the boar is fully subdued by both the white dog and some guy kneeling on top of it. Still the CC won't commit to a hold and is barking and letting go and stepping back and regripping. It is really quite clear the white dog actually caught the pig, and if it wasn't involved that pig was definitely getting away.
I'm not slamming the whole CC breed, but THAT individual dog doesn't quite get it, not yet anyway.

  Balto and Togo, both lead sled dogs in the 1925 Alaskan serum run. They crossed over 1,085 km in 5 days to transport urgently-needed antitoxins to the town of Nome, which was threatened by a dangerous epidemic. |

1890 - 1900+s Great Dane pictures, looks like they were slightly shorter and heavier in built back then, weren't they?       Sometimes from Great Dane historical pictures of that time (which is basically the 1890-1930 range) I have noticed there are two variants of the breed, the tall and lean ones and the shorter and stockier ones. I've also found paintings that trace back way further than these pictures, probably 1750 -1850 range, which depicts Great Dane ONLY in the shorter and stockier bauplan, such as -      Is this vague difference due to perhaps different roles? Like taller and leaner ones were used for dog racing while stockier ones where used as boarhounds? My guess is that originally Great Danes were all bred to be only and exclusively boarhounds, true catchdogs in their own manner. To be what they were they had to develop the robust boarhound bauplan to be able to go mouth to mouth with large game and struggle with their limbs implanted on the ground like columns. Something may have changed with the start of 1900s, maybe some Great Danes got introduced in the dog racing world and by consequence they were since they selectively bred, perhaps even by crossing them with greyhounds, to perform well in dog racing. The result would have been them adapting the taller and lankier built we know of. This is just my impression by the way, and I'm not totally sure about that either. Just because they may been crossed with greyhounds (my pure speculation) for dog racing doesn't mean they couldn't perform well as catchdogs, they would absolutely. Just like a lankier dogal can lug on a boar as if it was a dogo argentino. |
