I also know some folks who have pure Hammonds dogs that work well as catchdogs but I have seen some of that sketchy attitude also. I had a Hailstone bred dog given to me some years back and from the time he got here he wanted to eat my wife. She fed him for a week while I was gone and he would wag his tail when she brought food but growl at her as she left. She had to back out of his space or he would charge her. He never was that way with anyone else but he took a dirt nap. Gary likes a bulldog with a little bit of watchdog personality to them which I don't for this breed. I won't ever have another pure one. They also don't make very good brood bitches as a rule compared to some other lines. I know of a good number who you have a hard time getting them to raise pups. I just find it easier to run different lines that suit me better. Gary is a good friend for 30 yrs. but we do things a lpl different. But then he has bred hundreds more dogs than I have and and half the world knows him and nobody knows me. LOL!
Wayout...I would never own a APBT that had watch dog tendencies...just too dangerous to have around...once they fire up they usually won't back off until the job is done and that could go south in a hurry...just my thoughts on that...
