what a load of bs, any form of credibility or you being unbiased you had just flew out of the window. Claw marks mean small cougar? the story says the cougar was larger, of course you can pick and choose what you want out of the various stories you read. After all, this is coming from the poster who claims he knows what terrier and dogs are capable of just because you owned a few pet. If the cougar was so powerful it should have finished the job, turns out it had the shit beaten out of it and ran away looking for a nice tree to sit in for a couple of hours. Only the dog and cougar were involved and obviously the cougar did not like continuing a fair fight. Cougars and other felines prefer ambushing their prey, much the sames goes with encountering dogs. Anther story is of a smaller american bulldog confronting a cougar who attacked a small stb. The cougar did not have the advantage of pouncing on the dog when it had no time to react, so instead it fled the scene. Cougars go so far out of their way from being caught to the point a tiny jack russell can leave one terrified in a tree for hours in hopes of avoiding a confrontation. So obviously it doesn't take a bull mastiff to start a fight with a cougar and live to tell the tale, other breeds can do so. And at similar sizes I can readily accept that a dogo can beat up a cougar and send it packing. Running away form a full on fight is a huge sign of a loss, you can say "oh no, the cougar scratched the dog and left the fight". Say whatever you want bu tthe results end up with a large cat running away from a dog that kicked it's ass. |

we all know that cougars can kill pitbulls half their size, but that being said, most of these dogs who live in the "mountains" and come into contact with these cougars in north america are loving caring pets who don't know if its "right" to fight back. |

Oh no not this one. A Bull mastiff in full attack mode attacks a nondescript cougar and fails to kill it. How useless are canines than as fighters when given the advantages they fail to produce the results. A non descript cougar fights it off and escapes. And who saw all this? - no one except the dogs owner (apparently). And how big was the cougar or what gender? No one knows as no one saw it. The wildlife investigator (Randy Babb who I have been in email contact with) made an estimate based on the average weight of an adult male in that region for the newspapers. And the actual articles title is "Mountain lion kills 20 emus, still at large" rather than "Bullmastiff fights and beats larger mountain lion" if anyone was under that impression. A typical lousy effort from a domestic canine again!!

The only tough pitbull is the purebred game apbt dog in good condition. A pitbull can mean a wide variety of dogs, now a days. |

Exactly. There´s people who consider pretty much anything a Pitbull depending on the head shape. I even came across a guy who thought Boston Terriers were APBT... Edited by ARM0R, Jun 18 2013, 10:58 PM.

http://altino.blogspot.com.br/2007/03/ona-luta-com-pit-bulls.html Jaguar FIGHT WITH PIT BULLS There are about three months, the farmer Edilberto Afonso de Moraes, the Concrete, was booked for supervision of IBAMA for putting jaguar to fight against four cockfight pit bull breed dogs. To the delight of the audience Dogs have killed and seriously injured ounce out of the fight. But just surviving and remains with the farmer, who became the trustee of the animal. On Tuesday, Eriel Punch Lima was killed with a shot to the head during the night because tambaqui fished without authorization Spawning on the farm, the property of Gilberto Afonso de Moraes, brother of former Deputy Junior Concrete, both sons farmer Concrete. Three days later, two gunmen, presented to police as watchmen, were instructed by the lawyer so comical Florindo Poersch, president of the OAB-Acre, to claim that the fisherman was killed by other fishermen during a shootout by disagreement on sharing of fish. There are hundreds of families jobless and hungry, they were transferred to the flooded areas around the farm. The most comical story is having to watch the defense that the press is the murderers with the claim that the right to the family property had been violated. Besides creating oxen, fish, jaguars and fighting cocks, Moraes family can wreak other offspring to defend their interests in strategic positions in public life Acre. I realize that life back to worthless in Acre. Pretty soon begins deforestation for planting of sugarcane, soybeans, oil and gas exploration ... It is the arena of the forest. http://altino.blogspot.com.br/2007/03/ona-luta-com-pit-bulls.html |

I don't find this account overly impressive, I own a 14 year old dog, at this stage he would be a pushover for a felid less his size, if this had been the same cougar taking down a 50 pound, 5 year old pitbull or something along those lines yes I would be impressed. The only thing I find particularly impressive is the fact that the cougar was able to hide in a tree when the authorities caught up to it, never underestimate the resilience of a cat. |

I don't think that dog was working to kill the Cougar, any dog defending a horse will barrel into the opponent and try to get it to retreat. Any competent predator can escape an animal that is barely half its speed, and I'm not sure that's a thing Bull Mastiffs are renowned for. A Cougar bigger than a 120 pound Bull Mastiff will most likely be a male, male Cougars regularly pass 60 kg in most of their range average. Personally I think this fight would go down rather painful should it continue, although I give the Puma the advantage. |

Actually the most impressive thing in this event is that the cougar killed 20 emus! Emus are big ostrich-like birds, and they can even defend themselves from dingos by jumping and kicking them with their powerful legs. |
