The Boergreyhound was made by crossing English greyhounds with bulldogs and herders. It is mainly 90% greyhound but some dogs swing different than others and I've seen some that had quite apparent bull influence. The herder blood makes it much smarter than the pure English greyhound and some can even pick apart porcupines. They hunt warthog, kudu, brown hyena, jackal, baboon and other quarry. Some also work cattle.
The leopard has an exceptional ability to adapt to changes in prey availability, and has a very broad diet. It takes small prey where large ungulates are less common. The known prey of leopards ranges from dung beetles to adult elands, which can reach 900 kg (2,000 lb).[23] In sub-Saharan Africa, at least 92 prey species have been documented in leopard scat, including rodents, birds, small and large antelopes, hyraxes, hares, and arthropods. Leopards generally focus their hunting activity on locally abundant medium-sized ungulates in the 20 to 80 kg (44 to 176 lb) range, while opportunistically taking other prey.
