You did say 10 pounds, so I went along with it. And same goes with a red fox, it can kill that bobcat too. Now that your saying 20 pounds, we have a different matter. Still I would favor a 30 pound culpeo over a 20 pound bobcat; at that weight the feline is not at its' prime. You cant assume it still holds all of the attributes that a 40 pound bobcat possess, yet in a smaller package. |

40lbs is not the average, Its more like 25-30lbs. And yeah 10lbs may have been abit low, 15lbs is enough to kill any red fox. A 15lb terrier could also kill any fox

The canid would have to be 2x times larger (or perhaps more) than an adult Bobcat to have any chance of beating it. Edited by Panzerdivision, Aug 3 2012, 08:56 AM.

A staff could kill a bobcat at parity. They are more robust than any fox at similar weights. |

I don't think so. Most Pitbull/Staff supporters think these dogs blindly run into a conflict (cuz they've seen a few dog fighting videos or whatever), but the dog will end up being savagely mauled. Dog vs Dog is pretty different from Dog vs Wild Cat. Here's a picture of a small Bobcat against a pack of hounds. ![]() Edited by Panzerdivision, Aug 3 2012, 11:36 AM.

These dogs do run blindly into conflict. A 2x size differrence would be extreme over kill. Even a 10 lb difference. Bull and teriers are more formidable. And hounds are pretty much useless unless they are baying. Some will hold but they usually dont fight the game. I have full confidence in a bull and terrier dog vs a bobcat at parity. |

Yeh I do? A Bobcat holding its ground against 4 coyotes and keeping its meal shows the respect Coyotes have for them. |
