Hi, long time since I last posted, still lurking though Last month, I lost my APB x Boxer 3rd. generation. "Velu" as the beaters called him, had too much of a APB trait and over a year of chasing boars had aquired at least 50 slashes all over. Well, the last one did him in. He was slashed in the stomach region and it literally spilled some of his intestines out. The Indian Vet in Kulim stitched him up but I think there was further internal injury as he had bloody stools and the wound broke open after about a week. Nothing we could do as it was festering internally inspite of large doses of antibiotics. Velu's sister is the last of the generation and we are keeping her for further breeding with the mongrels, So, she's retired. The Last of the crosses which I have in my house(pic. I sent) is doing well. Quite aggressive for a puppy and probably not to be used for hunting but a guard dog. As for Beagles, they were bred for hunting, chasing down small animals. Less famous than their bigger brother the Fox hound. Beagels are good with their noses and their bark. Not for fighting boars, which is good as I do not want to see dogs killed. ot managed to cross any of them yet. The better terriers for hunting are the Fox Terriers, which I am looking for. Plenty of noise when on the chase and coward enough to run away when attacked. That was not what Velu and his sister would do in facing a boar, irrespective of size of the boar. It was always straight into attack mode. nice to hear from you.
