What's a pig Puppy

[comfort80]

theres a nasty dog fight thing that some people do in the states, the tie a pigs muzzle shut, and put him in a 'pit' or ring with a dog and/or dogs, and they basically tear the pig to pieces. i cannot recall the name of the 'sport' but they talked about it on the genesis awards on animal planet.

I got around to calling and they said it was the breed a pig I asked what mix of breed it was and the said a pitt and a pug... I find it hard to believe...and hard for the dogs to do..

Not really that hard the female might have been the pitbull and the male the pug.with big dogs they can mate with smaller dogs vica versa.All the female does is laydown for the male.Big dogs can also mate with smaller dogs all theydo is the smaller dog steps up on some steps and then it happens or if there is no steps the bigger dog picks the smaller one up by his front legs.I have seen it happen it looks werid but you can't help but laugh.

My aunt actually had a female pitt and a male pug and they had puppies... if it was the other way around it could be dangerous for the momma dog, though...

Actually pigs are quite dangerous. We have wild pig down in our riverbed and we have to be careful about not running into them, especially if we are on foot.

Wild boar/pig are dangerous when they are hunted.They can weigh 200+ pounds and can have tusks which can rip open a dog easily.
The Great dane was originally a boar hound.I have heard of people using sight hounds like salukis to chase and tire them down and dogo argentinos to do the finishing.
In India the Rajapalayam was originally used as a boar hound and I have heard that the Rampur hound(a sight hound from North India)was also used to hunt boar and other large prey.

Argentino I recognized, but I have never, ever heard of a Rajapalayam. That sure is a mouthful!

The Rajapalayam is an ancient breed of boar hound used in the south of India.It gets its name from its place of origin.It was even used in the early colonial wars to hamstring British cavalry during the Poligar rebellion.
Many experts think the Dalmation breed originated from pups which were discarded because they had spots and these were carried by gypsies in their migration to europe where the breed finally reached its present form in the region of Croatia.It is a pure white dog with a pink nose similar in structure to the Great Dane only less heavily built with a racier outline and great endurance.It is great guard dog.
The original Rampur hound was a much bigger dog than the greyhound and was supposed to have been able to pull down a full grown bull to the ground.Unfortunately there are very few pure specimens of breed available now.The use of greyhounds in Punjab for racing has led to a lot of inter breeding with the Rampurs and as a result most experts say the present Rampur is mostly greyhound.
