anyone hunt with a Spanish Alano Espanol ?

there were more than just the Alaunts. There were other types breeds. Guard dogs like the Spanish mastiff and herding dogs like the El Pastor Leones (Carea Leones) Types of greyhounds and a few others. Some real good history on Spanish and French during the conquest and settlements. Carea leones could be the link to a lot of leopard dogs in early America. As they settled, colonized and built Missions across the gulf states and then moved inland they brought hogs, sheep, cattle and horses along with guard and herding dogs. the Spanish really push across South America, Mexico toward California. Some neat history about the Basque and the Basque shepherds and how they pushed 1000's of sheep from Texas to Oregon and Washington state. McNab like the Basque shepherd so much it was crossed on to his collies to come up with the McNab Shepherd. I think that was right at 1800 when that happened. Old world dogs crossing with new world dogs and indian dogs made from some neat stuff out there...
