 Bertha is a blue brindle out of Bogan ( Midguard Mastiffs ) and Sticky (Our Bullet proof legacy roaddog female ) Pick of her litter;   big healthy young bitch, this will be her first breeding.  Super athletic, low dog aggression, eager to please, born to serve.

   Hogo-sha: is a purebred Tosa.  What exactly he'll throw temperamentally no honest man can say just yet, as he's not even fully mature himself, we don't have any adult pups out of him to evaluate.   But, I did get a feel for his parents; in france, where I traveled to get the pick of the litter out of two of the best looking Tosa's I'd ever seen.  I do have his pedigree, which also tells a story of sorts.   And ofcourse I have him to observe.  So we're not flying completely blind.

  For those who might have concerns with dog aggression in a Tosa, I get it; I share those.   Which is why I waited this long to use a Tosa.   But Hogo-Sha is not from "fighting lines," at least not recently.  His pedigree has many "champions" and significant amounts of health testing, and the gene pool has clearly has been bred in Europe for many generations.   None of that would be true of fighting dogs in Japan, or S. Korea, or anywhere else where they were still being accessed by their most original, most ardent selection pressure.  

  On that not, for the record I respect any meaningful selection pressure, and the lack there of in most dog breeds is the biggest single problem.  And though I've never been interested in dog fighting personally, one could argue it is the realist selection pressure on many levels.   

 I do appreciate boxing, wrestling, MMA, etc. Where the combatants are there of their own free will, and contests need not end in death.   Sports in general and combat sports in particular are true testing grounds.... I think that no one can deny.

 All that said, dog aggression is just a headache in my world.  We breed heavily away from it, one of the primary gains in using Dane for example.   But I think at this point in particular, with all the Dane heavy Bogan contribution, the dog aggression level is so low that we can afford to mix in a Tosa.  At least I'm comfortable mixing in this particular Tosa, Hogo-sha.  

Hogo-sha:  Means Guardian in Japanese.   I decideded to call him that when he started growling at strangers that came near me within a day of bonding.  He demonstrates very strong suspicion of strangers still, until properly introduced.   His mother, was very much the same.   The only question evident in her mind when I met her was.... do I need to bite this man or not..... she showed zero interest in me, or affection from me, as a stranger.   I like that.

 We're not striving to make dog-park dogs here.  And I would encourage everyone to avoid those places, not least to avoid the sort of human's that wind up there.  Socializing your dog is a good idea, with bi-peds, and quadra-peds both.   Dogparks are not a good place to take dogs that are going to be so much bigger, more athletic, and dominant than 99.9% of anything else that will be ever be there.

 All the more so because the sort of humans that have time for dog parks, I have found, are generally childless; and often projecting their parental instincts onto their dogs.  Which is exactly what you don't want in the mix.

 2. Considering a Working Dutch Shepherd x   Road dog breeding

   Wanting to hear from potentially interested parties ! 

   The older I get the more I like smart creatures, bi-peds and quadrapeds alike.  There is no doubt we would be taking a step forward in smarts and biddability, in what is already our most biddable option, the Road Dog, and perhaps our most innately biddable female "Countrina"  who will be my first choice for this should the stars and heats align. 

  It does stand to reason we would be taking a step down in weight and size.  But the silver lining would be a smaller, more athletic, higher endurance, option.  For some, that may be a better fit.  I'll keep a pair.

  I've been saying I wanted to be more creative and less repetitive on the production side for awhile now.   That time may be here, but I want to be sure I can place a whole litter, so if you're interested in this potential breeding reach out, let's talk.   I'll be more about homes then prices, I just want one a pair for myself, for the program... to see if this is a direction we might continue.

   I have working video of the Dutch Shepherd, he's from serious NKVP lines.  And he belongs to a friend and fellow dogman I've known for many years.  Interested parties should reach out.
