Accepting deposits now.

 Pais is Spanish for Country, named as such as a line breeding on our best Roaddog ever, the now retired to town "Country".    And it shows in the sort of next level devoted by nature temperament.   Just as it does in "Countrina" our other line breeding on "Country".

  When you do this long enough, it's real obvious how the genes manifest.  

   It's less obvious, how "Hogo-Sha" our new studs genes will manifest, because he's new to us, I've not had his ancestors on my yard for generations.  That's the x factor.  But thus far he seems solid, learns quickly, has natural protective instincts, should serve nicely in the road dog mix

  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 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,  growls at new people on his territory until properly introduced.   His mother, is 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 99.9999% of anything else that will be ever be there.

 All the more so because the sort of humans that have time for dog parks, are generally childless and projecting their parental instincts onto their dogs.  Which is exactly what you DON'T want in the mix when socializing dogs..... if you're going to do it.

2. Looks like Biggun is NOT pregnant, or "false" pregnant, now.

    Next "Farm and Ranch" breeding should be 

                     Hogo-Sha x Sheballs

I will take deposits for that breeding for those interested, Sheballs should be coming into heat soon.

 3. 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.   There is no doubt we would be taking a step forward in smarts and biddability, in what is already our most biddable option.    It does stand to reason we would be taking a step down in weight and size.  But that silver lining would be a smaller, more athletic, higher endurance, option.  For some, that may be a better fit.  

  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 for myself. 

   I have working video of the Dutch Shepherd, he's from serious working lines, and belongs to a friend, and dogman, I've known and trusted for a long time now.
