The Fila Brasileiro was originally bred to hunt slaves, so I would definitely want one. The pug, especially the modern version, is a majestic animal. I think it truly encompasses what the ideal dog is meant to be.  Yeah, pugs are the healthiest, friendliest and overall best dogs. Perfectly suited for hunting, fishing, even paying your bills in canine currency. Every American dollar is 7 dollars in dog currency. So a pug can make 7x more money than you can. |

Yep that’s me lol. I do like breeds but I prefer to separate dogs by groups or types as well. Here’s my top 5 favourite type of working dogs in order: 1.LGD 2.Versatile Hunting dogs (Airedale, drahthaars, some hard pointers) 3. Terriers (earthwork hunting dogs, a jagd falls in between 2 and 3) 4. sighthounds (coursing sighthounds, I like coyote and canine hunting dogs) 5. fighting breeds (apbt, tosa, BK, a few others there is hardly any true fighting breeds bred to fight) I like many of these Australian pig dogs and hunting dogs I see online highly functional and useful. But like I said I like all working dogs and the useful ones. I don’t tend to try to judge by breed so much. If I’m being honest. A lot of the time I will prefer a good mix over a purebred. Would you put Rhodesian Ridgebacks in the same boat as an Airedale Terrier? The few people working with rhoderesain ridgebacks seem to have been using them as versatile hunting dogs so yes. I really like these Ridgebacks, used for cattle, hunting fur and feather, tracking, and even guarding a bit! instagram.com/workingridgeback?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= |

So they don't get random diseases/pesticides, hurt native wildlife, get hit by a car, eat something they shouldn't, get into a fight with another dog, get infected by fight wounds etc... Think of all the things that could happen to you if you go outside- You could get herpes, you could get raped, you could get struck by lightning, you might even rape someone else, you might step in a dogshit, you might fall over and get an iron rod lodged in your anus, you might have acid thrown in your face by an indian guy who mistakes you for his daughter, who knows? But why live like that? We're here for a good time, not a long time. This is especially true for a dog that has maybe 10 years to get the most out of life. If they die a couple years early living life to the max, so what? Here are my dogs swimming in the river -  Here's what someone pulled out of said river about 80 metres away from this spot a couple of weeks earlier.  My dogs are going to live life as normal free animals. All sorts of bad things could happen to anyone or anything, that's just part of life. I know you are somewhere in the Brisbane area, but how close is that park to the ocean? If I am correct, the bullshark was caught at the river mouth. |

I may be confusing my bullsharks. There was a big one caught very close to where my dogs were swimming in that photo, at the Goodna boat ramp which I could almost throw a stone to over the river from that location in the photo. I searched Goodna bullshark and that showed up. The original pic I saw had a bullshark up on a pontoon. Looking again now they mention the goodna boat ramp in the article about that shark, so that probably caused the mistake, along with it really looking like the area (though they still don't actually mention where this one was caught in the article I'm talking about). Either way, the fact remains. My dogs swim in bullshark infested waters most days.

Estuarys and other brackish water areas are used as nurseries by bullsharks. I searched up about goodna, and found that is a part of the city of Ipswich, which is west and inland of Brisbane.This would mean that there are more likely to be juvenile bullsharks, but adults might come there on a few occasions. You can see videos where most of the sharks caught in freshwater tend to be young specimens. So, your dogs are relatively safe since adult bullsharks are most likely transients of that river. |

A bullshark attacked a horse at the goodna boat ramp, so I dunno, but I hope that's true.  |

Even juvenile bullsharks are still death traps, not to mention they're harder to see, and I'm sure that Hardcastle doesn't want his dogs getting hurt either way, adults or not. |

I kinda do like the Fila, actually. Athletic-looking mastiffs like that fall into the bracket of dogs I have an interest in. |

I have a photo of a Fila that got a machete or something sliced through its back, the pink meat all there exposed. It didn't give a shit and ate and lived as normal. When it healed it still had the pink ring around it. |

I don't love most filas I see, but the rare serious conditioned working ones I have seen are a very cool style of dog.  |

Depends on the shark size. If it is this big, then it will be focusing on small fish.  If it is this big, then Dale's dogs might be screwed.  |

I figure my dogs will just drag it out onto the bank where I will punch it to death.
I wakeboarded in the same river for years back in the 00s.

And what would you do if your dogs getting a chunk taken out of them? Not sure I would let them swim very far out. At least keep Winnie safe until you can breed her, then it's fine and her worth goes down. Not too unlike a girlfriend. I mean, throwing Winnie in the forest in a leopard infested forest or something would be good because she will win and your Kelpie would only die if it lacks, then deserved, but the dogs are totally helpless in water. |

It would be a shame to lose winnie before breeding... I need to do that soon, she just finished a heat cycle a couple of days ago and will be 4 I think around August which is when she'll come on heat again next. I think I should line up a date for then.
